Hello friends.
I am somewhat desperate with my car for two main problems. The first is about the loss of coolant that has been having for at least one year; The workshop has changed the radiator for a new one and the problem persists, then they told me to put a new lid to the cooling fluid (expansion vessel I think it's called) and the problem continues, so I no longer trust my workshop "of trust". Regarding this problem, what I observe is that in the cooling liquid of the expansion vessel there are floating some "hilitos" of dark fat. At the moment, I solve the problem by adding coolant but I would like to know if the problem you have can degenerate in something worse (to save in case I have to finally take it to a workshop). And this would like to know about the second problem that my car has: the radiator fan is never activated even when the temperature reaches the "prohibited" index, would it be enough to stop the vehicle (and let the engine cool) every time these overheating are presented (to save me the workshop repair) or have to take it to the workshop with emergency so that they repair me? Could I repair myself? Does anyone tell me how?
Greetings to all, in any case, and thank you very much, in advance, for attending to me.
