over heating and radiator smell from exhaust


edl

Recommended Posts

I just bought a 2000 dts at auction and it is overheating and the exhaust is smelling like it too. This sucks! How screwed am I? How do you undo the electronic security lock on the

stereo/cd? Does any one want to buy a car?

It must be pretty bad for you to be smelling it at the exhaust. I have a bad headgasket and do not smell it at the exhaust.

Do you have vapor at the exhaust on cold start up in the summer?

Open your coolant tank and smell the coolant, does it smell like exhaust?

Have your coolant checked for combustion by products.

How much did you pay for this car?

Can't tell about coolant smell. Definite moisture from both exhaust at startup. Afraid to run very long. I do not see any water in the oil though.

I payed $4000.

A $20 laboratory oil analysis will tell you for sure if the cylinder head gaskets have failed, or not, as one of the tests done is to check for the presence of coolant in the oil.

A rebuilt engine + installation will run about $3,000 +++, depending on the quality of the rebuilt engine. Not cheap.
