The car overheats and drops the water from the tank

I have a Chevrolet spark year 2007. The problem started suddenly. The fan acted and the temperature dropped. But now it soon overheats (5 minutes) and drips the water. Does this model have to scan and determine the problem? Thanks in advance. Note, the water comes out of the tank, I don't know where the water pump is, but it only bounces through the tank.

Hi. The scanner determines the electro drive, it is the first point to check. There are several factors whereby there is an increase in temperature, in the same way the leakage from the container can indicate a fault in the lid of the latter caused by an obstruction or failure of its relief valve that does not allow to compensate and evacuate the pressure of the system. Salu2.

Thanks for your answer. Thinking it was the electro magnet, connect it manually as soon as the car starts. The first test I did, turned on the car and after fifteen minutes the water began to heat and boil.
I did another similar test. that is to say when starting the fan on, now five minutes later the water was about to boil. Turn off the car.
Could it be the water pump that is failing? A dirty radiator? How to know this?

The thermostat can fail to remain in closed position, verify that the two radiator hoses have the same temperature and without pressure. In the same way the radiator panel can present dirt, blow out air from the engine outwards.

Hello, I want to check the thermostat, apparently it is in the hose that leaves the engine and enters the radiator from above. If I manage to remove it as I can test if it is in good condition. Another query, the electro fan has two speeds that are activated with the help of 2 relays. How are these relays activated?

Hi yes, you have to scan obd2 system It can be electro problem, punctually the first speed. The bomb is in the distribution.

Thanks for the answer, I started the electric fan as soon as I started the car, as after 10 minutes the water started to boil, I turned off the car and threw water through the safety cover. Could it be a clogged radiator? Water Pump?. I will check in the distribution where the water pump is. I don't locate it

Hello, if it were the pump, the water would not move, it could be the thermostat or a plugged hose. In the same way you should notice that the temperature rises very fast, which is what is happening to you. There is not much return. How many km does the car have, and how many times did the thermostat change? (If you have 80km's, at least once you should have changed and not for failure, but for maintenance)

Good morning, I'll look for that information and I'll send it to you.

Good afternoon, returning to the query I want to check the thermostat, apparently it is in the hose that leaves the engine and enters the radiator from above.

Hello, thermostats are not usually tested, depending on the km's they are changed directly (and also the coolant, if it has already reached its lifetime or if it is unknown). Since if this part fails, it is possible to blow the gasket of the car and double the maintenance value unnecessarily. The relays are activated by signals, in this case and in most cases, it is by the temperature bulb, when it reaches X ° (Degrees) it activates and activates the electros. First the low speed and then the highest.

Good morning, I took out the thermostat. Attached photos. Termostato.1.jpg [1.82MB] I would like to know how this device works. Now it is open but when hot water passes from the radiator as it works. Thanks in advance. Where are the sensors that make the electric fan work

Hello, it looks rusty, it surely fulfilled its useful life. When it locks, it does not open, which is the spring that is seen, it functions as a "plug" when X temperature is reached, it contracts allowing the passage of water that goes to the radiator to cool, the water from the tank enters the block and So again and again. If it does not open it overheats, if it is open, the water remains cold and does not reach the working temperature. The sensor that worked with the electro is that of the block. The same one that sends the signal to the ecu, the ecu to the relay and the relay to the electro.

Thanks for the information, I will review tomorrow.
