99 alero overheating

I have 1999 Olds Alero that has began to overheat. There is an indicator light on the dash that looks like a radiator in red. I assumed that this meant that that coolant was low and I filled the reservoir. I am now getting gurgling sounds from my engine (2.4L) and my heater is less productive. Is this more common with the Water Pump going out or is It the Thermostat? Thanks Chris

In the trunk, in the rear corners, you'll see some plastic "caps" with tabs on them, similar to wing nuts. Remove those, and the taillight comes right off the back of the car. That will allow you to replace the bulbs.

SOURCE: cant find the low pressure port to charge a/c on 2000 olds alero

It should be near the compressor on the low side line. It is a huge pain to get to. Feel along the line, and you should come to the fitting.

How to remove shifter

If your Alero is an automatic, look for a black, U-shaped clip inside the front of your shift handle. Pull it out with needle-nose pliers, then just slide the shifter off. It's a common problem for '99 Olds Aleros. Best wishes!

Why my 1999 oldsmobile alero runnig hot after I've gotten it fix

there may be air trapped in the coolant system. the fans may not be connected since you had the radiator replaced. bring it back to the mechanic who did the work and tell him your not satisfied.he should be responsible for the discrepany.

1999 Olds Alero. Low coolant light comes on and stays on even though its full. Starts running hot to the 3/4 mark. When the heater is turned on it cools off. Could this be the thermostat or the water pump.

TAKE RADIATOR CAP OFF WITH ENGINE COLD AND CHECK WATER ..MAKE SURE RADIATOR NOT BLOCKED,,PLASTIC BAG ETC. THIS SOUNDS LIKE LOW WATER OR RADIATOR ..STOPPED UP INSIDE ..IF YOU HAVE GOOD HEAT IT'S FULL OF WATER. REPLACE T STAT B4 RADIATOR..IT'S CHEAPER. ALSO CHECK FOR RADIATOR COOLING FAN OPPERATION..I,M RULING OUT THE WATER PUMP.

My 1999 alero is overheating and engine coolant is leaking

hi, i dont know about the dipstick, but your overheating problem is most likely to be the thermostat...sounds like its stuck in the closed position,not allowing colder water to circulate, hence the overheating.......needs changing

My 2003 olds alero reservoir leaks

Your cooling system needs to be pressure checked to see where the leak is. certain auto parts stores rent out a pressure checker. make sure you have the cooling system full before doing the pressure test. check to see if you have a radiator cap and fill the system that way instead of using the resevoir

Can find the atuomaket train mission stick on a 99 olds alero

On a service parts identification label on the spare tire cover, look for a 3 digit code that starts with M, I.E. MD9 or some such, that will narrow down which transmission you have.
