Temp prblem with Charade CS
I am having problem right now with my Charade CS. After a few kilometers run the engine heats up quickly. I always checked the coolant compartment and I notice d that it always ran out of coolant... What could the cause of this problem be? Kindly help me with this one..
Leaking.
A simple answer .... you have a coolant leak. Check all the coolant pipes, clips, radiator, radiator's cap for signs of water leakage. If no leak is visible then its probably a cylinder-head having a blown head gasket. A more critical problem could be a cracked cylinder-head. Can be verified by a cylinder compression test. A rough guide is to remove the radiator cap [be careful] whilst the engine is hot - rev the engine - look for air bubbles surfacing on the coolant. Also look for oil floating on the coolant.
Another indication of a blown head gasket ---- white vapour blown from the exhaust whilst the engine is running at normal temperature.
