  1. I thought it was a freeze plug behind the engine was leaking coolant got it fixed but now it’s running hot and white smoke 😔😔

  2. On a 2020 Nissan Altima sr 2.5,no smoke,oil looks great car runs great but sometimes when driving over 70 for a period of time the car will run hot but as soon as I pull over the temperature returns to normal. Does have air bubbles in the radiator.

    We have changed the water pump and the thermostat. Can’t seem to be able to get the air out of the system. Done test 4 and it didn’t turn yellow or green but like a lighter color blue.

  3. For one, on test number 2, if you don’t have spark plugs put in the vehicle, you’re not going to get spark. Nor is the vehicle going to fire up. Telling us to take the fuse out 🤣 for literally extra bullshit

  4. The one thing that sucks about the radiator tester is that I don’t have a radiator cap I only have overflow reservoir so that test won’t work for me
