I Have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra Thats losing water, overheating and wont start when its hot. No leaks no white smoke.

Ive checked for leaks and replaced the radiator cap, there are no visible leaks. The exaust looks fine, theres no milky oil or ****** fluid. I replaced the spark plugs and it ran better for a few days. The car wont start when its hot. I put about a half gallon of water in a day. It overheats when its stopped in trafic. Rough idles.. I just dont know whats wrong. Is it the head gasket?

SOURCE: 2003 hyundai elantra gt overheat

If the upper radiator hose is cool, but the engine is overheated than this could be a sign that the thermostat is stuck. By the way, the thermostat is at the end of the upper hose in the metal housing. There are two bolts holding it to the engine.

SOURCE: 2002 Hyundai elantra overheating.

Sounds like the waters not flowing correctly could be thermostat or other blockage.Are radiator fans working when vehicle is at operating temperature?Generaly this is a thermostat fault or faulty temperature sensor.

SOURCE: Overheating, don't know why

The most common problem with overheating is the thermostat. It becomes plugged and won't allow enough coolant to pass through the system. Another cause could be old coolant. Flushing the coolant periodically (when the coolant appears to have rust in it or has faded in color) is a good idea to keep the antifreeze/coolant up to peak levels. Bost are worth looking into but I'd be surprised (barring any leaks in the sytem) if the thermostat wasn't the culprit here. Best of luck.

SOURCE: where is termostat in hyundai elantra

first try the radiator cap..if it is bad, it will let the water run directly into the reservoir bottle then out on ground. Also take reservoir bottle out and check it for holes, if it has a hole and good cap it will let overflow drain on ground and not be pulled back into the radiator.

Well, I think the white smoke if it smells sweet, is antifreeze leaking into a cylinder through a fractured or broken head gasket.

The head being cracked could cause this symptom, but usually it's the head gasket.
If it's leaking at the radiator, or a tube to it, then that could have caused an overheat condition that messed the engine's head gasket up.

Good luck on this repair.

If it is smoking, it could be a bad head gasket. If the smoke is white water vapor which is coolant leaking through the head gasket of the engine into the combustion chamber or cylinder.

Also, I would check the thermostat for function, and the fan for operation when hot.

My 2005 hyundai elantra wont start

Sounds to me like your charging system failed and you now have a dead battery.
You will likely need to replace your alternator.

Engine overheat, A/C shut off, fan hot

Chances are that your engine is ok. Bad engine overheating can seize the engine. Less extensive overheating can crack the engine especially the cylinder head and lead to power loss or mixing of water and engine oil. If water is mixing with oil, the oil looks milky. If your car is not losing power and the oil looks normal then chances are that there was no damage to your engine.

Just make sure that whatever caused the overheating in the first place is sorted out - perhaps the radiator flushing resolved the cause of the overheating.

2001 Elantra Temp Fluctuates

This is caused by you coolant temp sensor you will need to also get a thermostate tp go along with it. This sensor goes bad on elantras all the time giving you a false reading and then finally your car will overheat causing major damage. spend the money to get it fixed now cause i see your out of warranty. joe hyundai tech ps check your top radator hose see if its leaking near the back clamp if it is you will see a white crust. get that fixed to if you see that. you will need a hose and clamp.
