Beretta cooling system woes :(

[nikosuave8896]

Ace your awesome man no milk yet lol i didnt even put in 2. 5 gallons in at this point maybe almost 2 i been putting in peak extended life non dex cool no 50 50 bs im just thinking its going down because its not at the full capacity yet, am i correct? Is this antifreeze okay? The system does stay at half on the temp gague. Me and my pop did bleed it earlier i believe we did take that ring off and watched for bubbles. It runs hot as if its full goes through the system and when cool down it goes down i do not have 2. 5 in there maybe almost 2 if that.

Lets figure this out before i start the pulley process. Oils not leaking and is full and no chocolate milk it looks like well oil haha

Make sure that your coolant ends up being around 50/50 when you're done for peak cooling performance. I usually do a jug of anti-freeze, a jug of water, then with a second jug of antifreeze I mix a 50/50 into the first jug and start topping it off. Easy.

Crap the 2 gallons i put in already were just strictly antifreeze : / what could i do now

Well, don't panic! You can always drain out a bit from the drain valve at the bottom of the driver's side of your radiator, and add back that amount in water. But be sure to top off with 50/50 for the coolant tank, so it has a mix in it, though eventually it will all even out. You can buy a tester for your coolant at a local auto parts place cheap to see if you have too much or not. More anti freeze makes it withstand more cold, but too much and it actually makes the car harder to cool properly. Some people run their mix anywhere between 40/60 to 70/30 (coolant/water). So don't panic yet mate.

Get a tester, just check where you are. If its over 70/30, I would drain a bit and add back some water. Otherwise you can control that with what you add to the coolant tank. No biggie. Hotter climates you want more water to coolant ratio, but I would never go less than 40/60. All coolant really does, is to stabilize the cooling liquid and keep it from freezing.

And when you test it, be sure its tested after the system has ran a bit, so the coolant tank liquid has had a chance to mix with the system. Otherwise you will be measuring what you added to the tank, not what's already in the system. Alternatively, you can drain a bit, and test that to see where it is.

Well thinking about it now i probably need to add another half a jug as i didnt reach the full 2. 5 but i got class tomorrow and i need my car if the tanks empty should i add all water or antifreeze ? The cars prob got 1. 8 gallons of coolant in it so far. Guessing it may be a little less

*EDIT* I went and checked it this morning after sitting for 12 hours, and the coolant level seemed to be okay, right about where it should be, a puddle was under my car but where the coolant level sits since i overfilled it yesterday lol but so far so good at this point, now for the compressor clutch for ac, if this is the case, is there a guide somewhere on how to do this? I heard you dont even have to open the ac compressor up which makes it a hell lot less messy.

Are you sure the noise is coming from the A/C unit? Did you manage to free spin check your pulleys to be sure? Just would hate to see you do that, and the noise still be there afterward.

Thats the bottom pulley right? Near the lower rad hose.

I started seeing a drip of oil coming from the oil drain plug may neeed to replace that soon with the gasket. :p

Yeah the bottom/forward pulley is the A/C.
