Dear guys...

I have an issue with my car Saturn Aura...

Overheating, I didn't have this issues before not until the radiator was taken out for flushing during welding on the front part of the car, so I had to allow the mechanic to go flush the radiator.

Prior to this all, coolant has been drained.... After flushing and the radiator was installed and the hoses clipped into place and coolant filled.... There's issue of overheating.

The system has been bleeded severally times and the coolant reservoir keeps boiling and dropping after switching of the engine.

Could it be blown head gasket? Because I've not seen any symptoms of coolant mixture with oil or thick white smoke from exhaust pipe.

The radiator has been pressure tested, no leakages and thermostat has been tested too .. it's opening and closing

Make Una help me

COOLANT

They compliment each other, metal cap should be totally filled with coolant, the plastic should be half filled with coolant, both well locked.

Wa o.

Thanks.

The mechanic that work on the car when there was a leakage on the radiator told me that i should put water to half level of the plastic and also put water on the metal cap and that once the water in the metal cap drains, it will take from the plastic to top it but i noticed that the top up is not being done. The plastic is still full while the metal cap dries up.

If the metal cap dries up and the plastic container if filled up, it means the content if the radiator (metal cap) is going into the plastic container due to overheating.

It's not supposed to be ao

Let your mechanic check your fan or check the cooling system to be sure everything is working fine.

The car was initially overheating. It was then i discovered that the radiator was leaking at the side and the fan was not working. Both were fixed and the issue stopped. It is occurring again. I will tell the mechanic to check what you have said. Thanks once again.

I hope the fan was not "fixed" by connecting it direct whereby it always blow everytime you turn on the ignition....

This was done. Initially, the fan only triggers automatically but now, when i turn on the ignition, the fan blows. My AC is bad for now. So do not know if that was why the rewire did it that way.

Hi guys please I need help with Honda Accord 08

1) check engine is on, a scanned results shows bad o2 sensor

2) if I start the car and move close to the exhaust at the back of the car. It peppers my eye kind of

The car drives well but consumes fuel.

They said I should change o2 sensor but another person is saying nothing is wrong with o2 sensor that the scanner returned o2 sensor error because the catalyst is either bad or not present that I should go and service injector, I’m a little confused because the car drives well but just consumes fuel a little.

Note: the smoke doesn’t get inside the car. Everything is fine inside the car.

The little research I did says that there is too much fuel getting into the engine and the engine can’t burn all the fuel at a stroke so the fuel get out to the exhaust, not sure if this makes any sense

Please what can I do in this case and please if I’m to replace o2 sensor, how much is it.

Thanks in advance.

That's wrong the actual cause of the overheating should be investigated, the fan should not be the reason.. connecting fan direct is not ideal for your car cooling system
