I went yesterday to check the radiator by overheat problems, and they said me that the cause are in the seals of the heads in the motor, probably these are bad. They did a test with a funnel in the cap of the radiador and when the motor accelerate get out bubbles from the water in the radiador, my question is, this could be the cause, the seals of the heads??? Can be other cause?? Thank you for your suggestions, answers, etc.
What they are telling you is that you have a blown head gasket ... and yes ... that is one thing that can cause overheating.
if you don't see any external sign of leaks pull the plugs and look to see if the electrodes are WHITE looking .if there are bubbles in the cooling system it is probably caused by the piston coming up on COMPRESSION STROKE and since the compression is higher than the cooling system it will push past the head gaskets as dan said
Ok, thank U, I had the hope that maybe could be a pump or something else, now check the gaskets in the heads of engine and wait for the result, thank U!!!
don't forget that if you got a blow head gasket your oil will look like it had white milky streeks in it.
depends on what part. a minor gasket leak can allow it to blow overheated air to the water jacket and not let the oil out. your talking more when the gasket gives in a big way allowing oil and water to trade places. Ive had both on different vehicles. if its just the air then it can be a minor fix. when oil and water are mixing, major work will need to be done. Either way, dont drive it until you can take it apart and fix it or it will become a bigger problem(warped heads, warped deck,etc)
i had the same problem with my 4 door. it was a head gasket leaking like they are guessing. sierra grabber is correct in his statement also. i never had any water getting into the oil. i fought with this problem forever before i discovered it. there is a test they can use at any radiator shop that uses a colored liquid (don't know exactly what it is) that when exposed to exaust gasses will change color. good luck
Overheating can be a cause of a blown head gasket as well as a symptom. Although not necessarily the culprit in your situation, my point here is that you also need to determine the cause of the problem to prevent a recurrence.
The myterious blue fluid changes color with the presence of carbon dioxide....the bottle I have was made in Germany.....
Thank you for your comments, The heads gaskets has been repair, now the questions is the normal fan VS electric Fan???:confused: considering the weather daily is almost always over of 86° F (30° C) and in summer over 104° F (40° C) Thank You.
Id keep the old fan parts in storage and switch to electrics in that kind of daily heat. possibly run two fans, one set at 185+ and the other at 195+. dont think running too cold will be an issue for you..
