Is the water in your car's radiator disappearing? Hi everyone, some people have written to us saying that the water in their car's radiator is "disappearing". So our tip today will tell you what to do in these cases. Every water-cooled car has a reservoir where you can usually see the minimum and maximum levels of the liquid. The correct way to check the level is with the engine cold, never with the engine hot. Because whenever the vehicle is hot, pressure builds up in the system and the liquid level will automatically be very close to the minimum and you will have the false impression that there is a lack of water. That is why I do not recommend taking the measurement when you turn off the engine, after driving for a long time. Always measure the level in the morning with the car very cold, and if the water is below the level, then you can say that the water is disappearing. But I don't see any water dripping under the car. What should I do now? Look, it could be because the leak is very small and only leaks when the car is moving, or even the water evaporates before it even drips onto the ground, or it could be that you have a blown head gasket. There are countless possibilities, so you know, fill it with water and not with additive, and take it to your trusted mechanic and ask him to do a leak test on the system to detect possible leaks. This test will build up pressure in the system and will instantly indicate where the leak is. This is our tip for today, I hope you liked it and keep writing, because we will answer all your questions. See you next week! ✅ Are you enjoying our mechanic tips?
