Pèrdida of the reservoir refrigerant

Good afternoons ...

How do I be the best to take ...?


In recent days, I had edited the problem that my vehicle presents a Ford Fiesta Power year 2006, synchronous, with the coolant, some ideas were kindly given by you who gave a light, others are telling you for this, thank you.

Now, today I went to consult a mechanic where he exposed the following consideration, the car does not visibly lose the water by any of the hoses the carpet internally is not or evidence to be wet or wet, but without a clutch, a thread of hot water was apparently coming out so it would be the heating grater or the air conditioning tube. The mechanic asked if heating was used and in reality it has never had to use, but his criteria is that the water is losing it on that side. It is good to note that the car has not reheated and works or is working on an average of 90 degrees or in the middle of the temperature clock.

He adds that the root problem and here I will try to be as detailed as possible than I understood that it would be for the thermostat that is like a box. The mecànico suggests that by not using heating in Venezuela, the route is shortened with what you call a “S” hose, I do not know what would allow the route to now be shorter but the heating would no longer official would not be partially convicted of giving it a term since eliminating it as such could not be, because the vehicle would be reheated.

The inconvenience and unpredictable risk of happening is that the material of this piece called the box where the thermostat is of baquelite (plastic) that tends to calculate with the heat and the pass of the hot water) and there is a danger that when trying to take out the manqueras to connect the hose S is split one of the connections that the thickness is too fine. From this to happen unfavorable that it seems, it is very frequent, the replacement will happen would be expensive if it is achieved on this side of Venezuela as things are because apparently the generic piece does not always serve fully fulfilling its function being cheaper being cheaper but it should be achieved the original more scan and expensive. He also told me that I could continue moving the car but watching the water reserve since it loses it ...

I am worried if there is really or there would be major problems if I still use the car or vehicle to go from the house to the work and school of the child since I live quite distant from the capital ...

Thank you for your attention and help by criteria that for good, they can give me ...

Hello, look, I give you some tips so that you understand more or less to verify your vehicle
first the loss of the refrigerant fluid may be due to several factors which you have to check well each component
1. so that it is losing due to the heating, the heating radiator must be broken and the same would leave the interior of the vehicle wet if you do not have lost or do not get wet.
Thermostat Its function is to heat the vehicle at a certain temperature then open and let the water flow, now the loss of water can be due to a broken hose that does not necessarily drip because it may lose it by boiling or as a steam and it is difficult to find or that it really consuming it by consuming the engine through the cylinder head. Vapor of the usual since the catalytic converts much of the gases into water, recommendation to take it to several services to review well if you are not as you ask to review in another place eye that the water pumps also filter are not visible and not visible, greetings and anything I can help you
