Already tested for leaks. Is it normal for coolant reservoir to go from high to low every 2-3 weeks?
Already tested for leaks. Is it normal for coolant reservoir to go from high to low every 2-3 weeks? The dealership says yes its normal. Also the check engine light is on. They got to go off but I went and picked it up the check engine light came on. I left it there. My 2015 ford fiesta engine is still under warranty for 7000 more miles.
The reservoir will normally go up & down, depending on how much you drive the car, but ok, just so it stays somewhere between the COLD & HOT lines.
If it does not need coolant added it is normal, but if coolant is disappearing it has a problem that must be corrected. The check engine light still has to be addressed - they don't have it fixed.
The coolant level in your car's radiator overflow tank CAN fluctuate up and down a bit, but as long as the fluid level stays between the full mark and the add mark, you're good to go. If you have to ADD coolant frequently, then you have a problem. The Check Engine light indicates SOME sort of problem with the engine. If the dealer can't fix it, then READ your owner's manual and find out how to contact the manufacturer's customer service department.
Get it fixed BEFORE your warranty runs out.
The cooling system is SEALED and no fluid should leak out. Ford might have a better way and not seal the cooling system and let some leak into the combustion chamber and the environment through their design.
- What would vintage cars look like tested in a wind tunnel? Vintage cars as in: those early 1920's-1940's boxy-shaped cars like the Ford V8 Flathead engines, and also the cars of the 1950's when aerodynamics and curved designs first came out. My question is asking about how the fog in a wind tunnel would appear, how much drag there's, or if earliest metal-roofed cars just scattered the wind (back when the tires had spokes that was assembled kind of like on bicycle wheels. ).
- Is it normal to have to fill the gas tank of a 2000 ford Taurus se every week? Don't laugh. I'm ignorant about cars and this is my first one. I own a 2000 Taurus station wagon. I drive 6 miles to work and 6 miles back every day and don't drive many other places than that. I live in the city. I'm filling my tank every week and my boyfriend says that's way too much. He says I should replace the spark plugs. Would he be correct?
- Does my MPG seem low or normal in my Ford Ranger? I own a 2005 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 V6 4x4 Okay, yes I know it is a truck so I do not expect fantastic fuel mileage, but I was calculating my MPG with this app I have on my phone, and the average is anywhere between 13.2 and 13.6. The truck is a manual, so to help with the MPG, I usually shift around 2500-3000, and when I'm just driving I usually have it between 1500 and 2000. Does anything seem wrong here or is it normal?
- I have a 95 ford mustang that is leaking oil and coolant both appear to be separate leaks? The engine is a 3.8L v6. The car is difficult to start, usually on the 5th try it starts. After long periods of driving it stalls out and has to sit for a couple hours. It has a new TPS and a new idle air control valve and just had the oil changed
