What should I do if my coolant warning light comes on?
Your local garage can perform a diagnostic check of your car’s computer which should highlight the problem being a faulty sensor. You can then have the sensor replaced, which should solve the problem. What should you do if the coolant warning light comes on?
What does a crack in the coolant light mean?
Your coolant light might be signs of a more major engine problem. When you get a crack in the block or the intake gasket you will leak coolant and oil, usually slowly at first. You may not notice the difference at first, thinking that your tank is full. A repair to a cracked engine block or head gasket is an expensive repair.
What kind of cooling system does the RX-7 have?
There is nothing particularly special about the RX-7 cooling system, except the fact that there are actually two in the car. The first system is the one we are concerned with. This is the water system. Like any other car, it contains 4 key components; the thermostat, the radiator, the water pump and the fan.
Why is my RX-7 engine not cooling properly?
As cold air flows over it, the clutch loosens up, allowing the fan to freewheel on the shaft of the engine. The fan then hardly turns. As the air flowing over the clutch heats up (as the engine transfers more heat to the radiator) the clutch tightens up, spinning the fan faster and drawing more air through the radiator.
When does the low coolant level warning light go out?
When you start the engine, the low coolant level light should come on for a second or two and then go out. If it doesn’t go out, either the coolant level is too low or there is a problem with the sensor system.
