Take the old "tube" off and go get a new one, some clamps, a thermostat etc. replace the failed part.
drain and fill the coolant. check the oil.
run the engine and burp the radiator.
shut it off and wait. start after engine cools some and drive uphill.
burp and refill again parked on the incline.
be sure your cooling fan runs.
The switch for activating it or the relay can also need attention during the diagnosis. You would be safe to drive to a tech after the parts were completed but without a fan, you have to shut it off when sitting still. Driving at 30 and above is good.
plan on a bigger radiator for the future.
These things have a small one, run it at the point of overheat, then save it all day with cycling a cooling fan.
if it does not come on? There is little warning.
If it was just your thermostat, it may not repeat the problem.
If it was the head, on a korean car?
good luck.
They like to replace engines not parts.
You can search online for part sources as if it were either the korean name or the GM name if that helps.
If you cant follow these directions then a shop gets 120 an hour.
having AAA helps you get it there if you dont wish to work on this.
Popped hose may actually be a sign of hidden serious problem as head gasket damaged or even cyl.head cracked. Have you noticed any other symptoms before, like temperature going up a lot above normal? It seems your cooling system was under quite a high pressure and that indicates cylinder pressure escaping into cooling system through some crack there. Expansion tank caps are designed to release a bit higher pressure (like a relief valve) which normally builds up inside the cooling system. So it could be that this time there was a lot higher pressure than that cap was able to let pass out. By the way, it may be that possible crack lets pressure enter the cooling system only when the engine reaches operating temperature and not when cold.
Sounds like the upper hose running from the radiator to the thermsostat housing popped. replace the hose and get a thermostat you should be fine . I had it happen while driving 80 on the interstate in an 80 cutlass. I changed what i mentioned and no problem
Anything can be fixed , money and parts cost is the hinderance. You didn't mention if the "tube " was a water hose or a vacumn line . From your question I'd advise going to a shop, not DIY. Either one less than $125.00 paying normal shop rates .
Your car overheated. If it was used, I would be worried about the coolant that is in there, because it should not boil that easily. If not, then either the water pump or thermostat failed. Which is very odd for low mileage car. If it is a thermostat, cheap fix. If it is water pump, you are looking around $90 for parts or so, maybe $60 or more for labor. Not counting the coolant.
These are just rough estimates. If something else was damaged from running hot, not sure. You should of had a warning light or gauge from running that hot. I strongly suspect there is more to this picture.
It sounds like one of the water hoses has burst. Without knowing the reason, it is impossible to say what the repair cost will be. If it is only the hose needing replacement, it may not cost much. If your boyfriend is handy, he may be able to fix it himself. If the hose has just come loose, he could just push it back on, and re-tighten the hose clamp. If the hose has split, you can buy a new hose and fit it. I would suggest you do not drive it until it is fixed. If you need to get it to a repair shop. you will be best to have it towed.
Ordinary hose replacement. They were probably overdue. I hope you got them all replaced. There is such a thing as a causative clog. But whoever replaces the hoses will do some primitive flow-testing.
Hi so a it needs to cool down before it can be fixed. then you need a new hose and clips. depending on the cost of the replacement hose that might be your largest expense.
Checking all hoses and belts is a routine maintenence item, you can avoid future breakdowns by looking for problems before they happen. Good Luck!
So it's 1 in the morning and me and my boyfriend are just getting to his house. I turn off the car when we hear a pop! Like my boyfriend thought it was a gunshot or something. Then I realize there's steam coming from under the hood. So we pop the hood up and we see that of the tubes popped. I know it's obviously bad but was wondering if it could be fixed and how much it'd possible be. It's a 2010 95k mile chevy aveo.
I'm thinking an ac line could make that noise. Other than that????
More than likely a radiator hose or heater core hose.
Replace the hose and add more coolant. $20 or $30 if you do it yourself. Oops, make it $30 or $40.
if u dont know how to drive properly and cant keep in condition it should go on wrong
