My car is overheating
I have a '99 Honda Civic lx, and it's overheating. I notice steam coming from the radiator whenever I drive. I pop the hood, and when it cooled down I opened the radiator to pour some water in because I thought it was low, and if I could get some water in it that'll cool it down enough. I had the coolant replaced about a year ago, should still be good.
But the steam comes from between the radiator and this foam pad in front. And on my way home today from work it looks really bad, here's the pic:
On the picture there's some kind of leakage going on. Any ideas? I will most likely be taking my car to the shop tomorrow.
Yes thats a bad radiator it will need replaced
You need a new radiator. Until you do that, the cooling system can't build adequate pressure and it will leak antifreeze and overheat.
Radiator is bad. You can take it to autozone and have it checkes just to be sure i would also replace the thermostat
- Why is my car overheating? - 2 Back in June, my 2002 Honda Civic began to overheat every day. Repair shop put a new thermostat in and it ran perfectly. Problem solved! Or so I thought. It ran fine for about 6-8 weeks. Then it started overheating again out of nowhere. Another new thermostat was put in, thinking the old one may have been defective. My car ran fine for another 6 weeks or so and then it started to overheat again out of the blue. What the heck? Repair shop is puzzled.
- Why is my car overheating? - 1 I just replaced my thermostat in my 95 Honda civic, it fixed the problem for a few hours but when I went home and let it sit for a few hours and got back into it, it overheated within 5 min. I checked the oil, coolant, and there was plenty. However my fan was not turning on, and my heater was cold. So I wired the fan to the battery only because I needed to make it home and it turned the fan on but it didn't stop or fix the overheating. The fuses are good too… Please help!
- Why does my car keep overheating? I have a 1993 Honda civic, it keeps overheating on me and every 20 min I need to put water/coolant. I just put a new radiator, thermostat, gasket and bottom radiator hose. Why is the radiator always empty and overheating?
- I'm driving a 96 honda civic and my car has been shaking and overheating? I have check for leaks and everything is fine but i do have a rusted spark plug, i'm wondering if that may be the cause of shaking and excessive overheating to the point i'm driving with the heater on all the time. Can anyone let me know if the spark plug is the problem and if i replace this one rusted plug will the car drive back normally?
