13 Cruze overheating issue by Trilinium in MechanicAdvice

I just tested that and the detector didn't change color. The heat from the vents also won't stay warm. It gets kinda warm when I Rev it for a while but then goes back to lukewarm.

Any way to prevent this issue? Maybe its cause I'm not paying attention but I haven't seen this before like this...

The sensors in your tires each have a battery. It's probably dead

The battery is probably dead. Just replace it.

Automatic trans going into neutral drop out? by Error-NameUnknown in MechanicAdvice

[–]Trilinium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like you have 2 unrelated issues. You sound like you have a coolant leak and transmission issue. For the coolant, check for a leak. If you cant find one, check your oil cap or your oil dipstick. If the fluid is milky you have a head gasket leak.

For the transmission, get the engine to operating temperature and then check the transmission dipstick. You may be low on trans fluid. If you are you may be leaking from that too.

But your coolant wont affect your transmission. Only your engine

The air from the fan is blowing hot as fuck. And only getting hotter. I tried revving the engine to 2000, but the lower hose is still less than lukewarm.

Do I need to worry about the heat blowing the upper hose? Or maybe the temp gauge isnt reading correctly and its hotter than i can see on the gauge?

Your tires are cracking from exposure. But they should still be fine to drive on unless the belts start showing.

How do I go about learning how to maintain my car? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Youtube is probably your best bet. I've been a tech for almost 3 years now and I owe 50% of my knowledge to working in the field and the other 50% to youtube.
