Well, here we are a little broke - Toyota Aristo, 3.0 l., 1993

In the morning, after standing in a traffic jam with the air conder on, I noticed that the cabin began to smell of antifreeze (after I switched the direction of blowing the cabin from the stove deflectors), I immediately noticed the temperature arrow, but the temperature was normal ...

Arriving at work (with the same condenser turned on), I put the car on P and turned off the AC, in a couple of seconds the temperature arrow went up, almost to the red mark ... stopped at the penultimate white strip ... I even foolishly drowned it out, but then immediately started and turned on the stove at full power, the temperature began to drop and stopped at normal ...

When opening the hood, it was found that the water in the expansion tank gurgles and thus squeezed out from under the lid ... Next to the car, as I turned to the parking lot, a distinct trace of antifreeze is visible ...
well, at the moment of its cooling, somewhere in 3-5 minutes , about 500ml of it spilled out ... under the car in the area of ​​the right wing, as if closer to the bumper, a huge puddle ...

PS The radiator cover seems to be new, it should bleed. dry.gif

That year, from old age, the upper branch pipe that goes to the stove broke, it also squeezed out, but only on the move, when the car stood in one place, it was dry under it.

At lunch I went to visit her, the expansion tank was empty. I had to pour water into it ...

also at lunchtime after adding water, I checked the clutch fan for performance.
BUT ... The
fan reacts distinctly to gas.

I tend to think (with the help of TC) that this is either the khan's thermostat, or to clean the radiator ...

oh, this old age, that's what finishes me in my trash, has already changed all kinds of pipes, hoses, clamps, etc., sometimes antifreeze more often than the oil in the internal combustion engine I change =)))
and what happened to you, alas, thoughts no, except that the general opinion with the thermostat or the bottom pipe, if any. but that's why the tank was seething ... damn it, Toyota is not Subaru, although the principle is the same for everyone =)

Come on, they'll be poor =) your garbage dump will be even better than the new year's cars ... And Vadega too. And Stini has a new car EPT. = D

I left it yesterday at the service station, bought a thermostat, asked to change it and blow out the radiators ... you never know.
I hope nothing else will happen ... I'd better manage with a jammed thermostat)) or dirt in the radiator))

old age. yeah ...

In general, the problem was in the clogged cooling radiator!

And after using water instead of coolant, my pump flew. = (I had to change. Now I pour only red liquid. I took the sales for refilling for everyone.

By the way, I checked the temperature (with a special thermometer), Conder ... the
car was in the sun, after 5-7 minutes it was 3gr ... at the lowest power)))

Well, don't tell me ... not everything is so sad with not new cars ... all the factor of where, how and by whom it was operated, as well as being operated is of no small importance!)

oh, those old cars ... the
age of golf (16 years), not to say that pasty ... but periodically reminds of itself.
oil comes out a little bit from somewhere, I think it's a root oil seal.
+ varnish on the roof is already moving away ...)))) in
general ... do not hate problems, buy new cars.
at least there will be no problems with clogged radiators, dying bearings (I recently changed some on Lexus), etc.

ps: congratulations on the successful solution of the problem!
