ok so i bought a new radiator and i filled about 2 gallons of coolant (partially because my mom's husband found it a good idea to) and the "Add Coolant" buzzer keeps going off. now i know i don't need to add more coolant into the car and i've already been driving around with it for about 2 weeks now and i'm still getting the noise. everything is connected the sensor obviously still works but i'm wondering if could have possibly messed something up driving my car home when i first blew the radiator. i let my car warm up for about a minute every time i get in my car if it sits still for more than an hour. anyone got any ideas, i went and looked through to find similar threads but i think i'm just ratarded and didn't see anyhting. any ideas?

 

Bleed the air out of the line.
its the large phillips head plastic screw where the hose meets the rad.
it happened to me too but i figured it out much sooner.
hope this helps good luck!

 

did you bleed the system of air? check the archives, or like 5 million other threads about how to do it if you dont already know.

 

god my &%$@ eyes what the hecks with the small print?
and yea air usually messes with people
to much nitrogen= you cant stop laughing
to much oxygen= you feal like your floating
to much helium= hahaha your a chipmunk!!!
to much hydrogen= how the hell did you do that??

 

helghast what in the world are you speaking about? if this is your run in the mill attempted burn it wasn't very good. R-Kive which plastic screw? can you post a pic please? i need a visual.

 

he speaks of the ONLY screw on the radiator. Its right next to the top hose on the passenger side

 

Some aftermarket replacement rads don't have this bleed screw.
My CSF doesn't.

 

no ive never burned anyone, unless they truely deserve it becasue i wouldn't want to be burned unless i was dumb enough to deserve it, actually it was suposed to be a joke to lighten the mood, however if you are to serous that you cant have a good laugh then there is something wrong with you.........everyone needs a laugh once and a while, i would know, i just had my entire passanger side swiped by a wall because of my dumbass friend, the whole side needs a new paint job and a new mirror
