HI my names chris from northeast england just bought an 1995 rx7, the coolant light keeps comeing on and buzzing any ideas its really annoying, dont think its using much water cheers chris

Welcome to the Forum.
Question 1: Have you checked on the coolant level? Question 2: Is there any white smoke coming from the exhaust? Check on those thing & let us know. Sheldon. |
no white smoke, didnt take any water so i think it must be ok??? the car has stood for a year when the last owner was bad not sure if that means anything
|
bump!
|
It may have an air pocket in the cooling system.
|
How would you bleed the system, Sheldon? In my wife's Saturn it's just a matter of waiting for the thermostat to open and pumping (squeeze and release) the top rad hose. Would that work on a 7 also? *edit* Just thought of this, but since you said the car was sitting: Could it be that some gunk floating around the cooling system got on and around the sending unit causing a false trigger/alarm? |
i am thinking that the radiator might be clogged up from sitting so long. the second gens, i know, have a little screw that comes out of the upper radiator hose to help bleed out air, but i am not sure about the third gens.
|
It is really hard to properly bleed a 3rd gen cooling system if an air pocket is in there somewhere. I'll have to recheck my notes.
|
Thanks for chiming in, Guys!! I really didn't know what to tell him. General guesses. The best I could come up with. |
cheers for replys bled the system today no more buzzing, thanks chris
