Explain Why it is good practice to split the liquid coolant line into separate parallel paths?

When done properly, the flow of coolant is less congested and there is no single component in line that receives coolant preheated by every other component.

What specifically does 2001 Alero dash indicator square with apparent liquid inside mean?
If it is the red light we see. I believe you will find that it is a low coolant light. Ours has a coolant leak so we see this light a lot. If it is the red light we see. I believe you will find that it is a low coolant light. Ours has a coolant leak so we see this light a lot.

What does it mean when your car overheats and engine cuts out?
If your car overheats and then wants to die or runs rough when trying to restart you may have warped or cracked your head and/or blown your head gasket. If the head is cracked there will probably be oil in your engine compartment or condensed coolant. If the head is warped and/or your head gasket blown coolant will probably be in your oil. Pull your dipstick and look at it; oil and coolant mixed together will have a thick milky appearance. If you don't find these symptoms compression test your cylinders just to make sure. It could be that you have two smaller problems at the same time ( for example a frozen thermostat and a bad fuel pressure regulator ) but my first check would be the head.
Any one if you can drain some tranny fluid from coolant lines on a 98 mystique and which lines you need to use?
The smaller lines approx. 3/16" at the side of the radiator
Would a seat from a polaris pro-x fit a 92 Indy?
yes but you need the gas tank and then move oil injector and coolant resorvoir ahead a tad and then your golden
How do you replace the coolant on a 2004 Jeep Liberty since the radiator does not have a cap?
Even without a cap, you still have a drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, it will unscrew, and release all your water, then you have a separate resovoir for coolant that you fill it back up with, it will say coolant on it.
Is it safe to put conventional coolant in a Chevy with dex cool?
Putting non dexcool compatible coolant in the cooling system can cause problems and sludgy buildup in the cooling system but Most coolant you buy these days will say on the bottle "compatible with any colour coolant " or compatible with dexcool" and if it doesn't you can easily find a brand that will be compatible with dexcool coolant at any automotive store. If you have allready mixed the coolant with non compatible coolant I recommend to flush ur coolant system and use a dexcool compatible replacement coolant flushing the coolant system every few years is a good practice even if you have 5 year life coolant..
Where to find the coolant censor on a 1994 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo?
There are two separate sensors that play here. the "coolant temperature sensor" and "coolant LEVEL sensor". I suggest confirming which of these was replaced, as it is very common for them to be confused. likely you will find the coolant sensor that was replaced was the one on the engine (temperature); The LEVEL sensor is mounted either in the coolant resivoir or in the radiator. Probably just need the proper sensor replaced.
What is the correct way to insert a thermostat on a 1997 Pontiac sunfire 2.2?
Remove the thermostat housing screws and separate the housing, exsposing the thermostat and coolant, remove old thermostat and gasket. Reinstall new thermostat, gasket and coolant.
1997 JGC Laredo You have had the coolant sensor replaced but it still tells you that the coolant level is low does the computer need to be reset If so how is it done.?

How do you change the antifreeze?
I have a 91 Ford escort that has two caps. one is on the radiator itself and one next to it that says coolant only. how do I know where the antifreeze goes? does a mixture of coolant and water go in the radiator or does only water go in radiator and coolant in the other one? I have never seen an engine with this. could you help explain it?
Is the recovery tank cap the same as the radiator cap or does the radiator have a separate cap underneath the housing?
If you have a threaded cap on your coolant reservoir that is your " radiator cap "
How can coolant leak into your 1996 BMW 328i oil?
Most likely, your head gasket no longer seals properly. Coolant and oil normally circulate through separate channels in your engine. A faulty head gasket allows oil to pass into the coolant channels and vice versa. If your gasket is leaking, you will also have loss of compression in one or more cylinders and possibly white clouds of steam in your exhaust, from coolant getting into the cylinders.
How do you fix water leaking into transmission fluid?
Coolant? Bad radiator Radiator has a separate cooling tank (usually at the side or bottom of radiator) for transmission fluid. At times this tank ruptures allowing coolant to get into transmission. Most times causing a transmission failure.
Why would transmission come out of the filler tube of a 2001 Ford Taurus?
According to the Chilton manual:"If the fluid level is too high, drain off the excess, then check the drained fluid for contamination by coolant. The presence of engine coolant in the automatic transaxle fluid indicates that a failure has occurred in the internal radiator walls that separate the coolant from the transmission fluid."Hope this helps.
Why does oil and coolant mix on the valve cover and not in the engine?
Oil and coolant should NEVER mix in an automobile. Can you be a bit more descriptive in your question? Im led to believe there is something wrong with your vehicle. I agree with him, if you have what you call a mix of coolant and oil on the valve cover you have an internal coolant leak you need to get looked ASAP. Oil and coolant do not mix anywhere, it's like if you put oil and water in a jar and shake it, it seems to "mix" but it really doesn't and it will separate when left alone. If you get too much coolant in the oil, it will take away the lubricating quality of the oil and it will ruin the engine.
2004 Dodge Caravan 3-3 engine you want to flush and add coolant Where is the drain cock and how much coolant do you need you purchased a gallon of Mopar What about its reservoir Explain its roll?
Radiator plug or petcock should be located at the bottom or rear of radiator or remove lower radiator hose. Most vehicles take approx. 2 gallons of coolant mixed 50/50 with water As coolant heats it expands and rather than lose same on the ground it flows to the coolant recovery tank allowing additional coolant to flow through system when needed and stored when not required
