Coolant Picture


Recommended Posts

Can someone post a picture of what the coolant looks like when it is full in the viewing window

Also can you seen the coolant when you open the cap onto of the radiator?

I have bent my rad at the bottom but it doesnt leak however could this have caused my washer bypass valve to leak for some reason as coolant is coming out when it feels like it and I am worried as I cant check the level as I cant see anything in the viewing window :(

The temp needle is fine but I would ratehr be safe than sorry

Should be able to see fluid level inside the white transparent part. Theres a max/min level marker - or may be hot/cold marker.

When car is cool open metal lid on rad you should be able to see fluid upto top.

You should not see fluid when opening the plastic filler cap.

I cant see any in the window!!!

The temp is always ok and I went Newcastle and back in a day 350miles

It does leak from the water by pass valve every now and then which I need to sort

The rad got pushed up at the bottom by 1 or 2 rows but has not shown signs of leakage

sounds a bit blazay (spelling ??)

but fill it up and see what happens.

Just in case you are loosing it somewhere you dont want to let it go so low.

You need to establish if the level keeps going down.

Can you see any pink (assuming its the toyota fluid) dried residue anywhere ?
