coolant bottle fulls up,does not go to radiator, have to keep adding coolant everyday..what could be causing this ?...2002 Maximat

Is the coolant in the bottle going down every day? It sounds like the coolant is actually being drawn into the radiator but you are losing it somehow from there. Have you noticed any drips under the car? Is the any liquid residue around the tailpipe? If there are sweet-smelling drips, then you have a leak from the engine. If there is a similar residue in the tailpipe then the leak is most likely in the head and the coolant is being sucked into the exhaust. Let me know and we can recommend the appropriate sealer. Eric

You've probably figured it out by now but I'd guess you've got a blown head gasket and compression is leaking back into the cooling system.

Ouch.. This is an entirely different problem..... For some reason your coolant system is being over pressurized..... This could simply be a bad thermostat or it could be something like the radiator core is shot..... I think that you should have this car looked at by a repair shop. Sorry.... don't mean to be the bearer of bad news...... Eric

My intake went bad under the thermostat but it leaked coolant and shorted out my coil. There was no way the oil and anti freeze could mix there. You might have 2 separate problems. If you're doing the intake I would go all the way and replace the head gaskets too.

I just used my stocker if I remember right. Not a bad time to replace it though. The spring in them can go out over time leading to incorrect pressurization of the coolant system. The caps are cheap through advance or auto zone or whatever is close to you. Radiator works like a charm though. Installation was cake and cools like a champ. Never climbs above 210 in the summer even with the ac on full blast.

Refill a 50/50 mixture of Toyota Long Life engine coolant and distilled water. It might be a good idea to investigate for leaks and/or find out why fluid was low. Could be dripping from radiator or hose or internal leak- head gasket. Losing coolant can be big problems later on. My advice is don't ignore it.

I have not experienced that,,,but if the ATIV was out in 7 degree temp. I would think there would be some condensation perhaps or maybe the temp. was too cold for it. I really don't know, I have had no problems with mine at all...just saying...

Hi Muzzammil, when it was time for me to change my coolant, I ordered (2) gallons of this, as per manual. But, when I drained my 2005 Accord from the bottom drain block...it only required (1) gallon to completely fill!

Hi Vanessa, must remove radiator cap, to use and run the engine to full operating temperature. Aluminum products may seal when cold and expand to see leaks when warm, have you done a pressure test on the cooling system? It has been advised to me that you also have the radiator check

What is the issue with the radiator not fitting? I have a 1998 328i auto as well so I may be able to help!

Always get a new radiator cap with a new radiator. Read others experiences. There are differences in thickness of plastic and caps. Sorry, but that is the best advice I can offer. Make certain that there is a rubber gasket. Things happen ...........

The coolant is not pre-mixed, you will need to add distilled water at about 1:1 ratio.

Hi Graziela, I had this problem as well I took the car to the dealership and after troubleshooting it turned out to be an error from the mass airflow sensor. They told me it was no big deal and they reset the error codes for me. If your car is still under warranty I suggest taking it to the dealership so they can fix that for you, if not, you can take your car to an AutoZone and they can clear those codes for you for free.

You might have had a rubber ring fall off and in the way of the the cold intake. Shut your water off and take the part out and see if any rubber rings fell off

yes you do have an aluminum radiator in that car. drain all coolant from vehicle. fill with water add a quarter cup of radiator cleaner. and run for 15 to 20 minutes. drain and repeat if necessary. flush radiator with water. and refill with 50:50 mixture of antifreeze

Did you empty radiator for the 24 drying time? At any rate - another new radiator is a whole lot less expensive than a new head gasket.

My guess it is probably from the motor. I suggest you call customer service at Blendtec. I got rid of mine after 2 years because of too many issues with the leaking seals and exploding lid. Never fill it up completely. Always fill it no more than 3/4 full.

I flushed the radiator and block, and started over with clean half water half antifreeze mixture and added the K Seal to the radiator. It worked that way for me. I didn't try adding to the overflow tank.

I would suggest emailing csf and ask them. I've never had a problem with one. Did you have a problem? Did you make sure to use a taller radiator cap with it? The stock radiator cap will not work.
