I have a 2008 vw jetta 2.5L and i have type substance in my coolant. I have ordered transmission cooler for the car I was going to change the cooler and flush all of the coolant out of my car and add more transmission fluid to the car. I have stopped driving the car because it stalls when Switching gears in automatic but it changes gears in a manual just fine. Do you think this will solve my problem?

Would a shop test the cooler like that or just replace it, and everything in sight? Impressive, honest mechanic.

Very good video with outstanding camera views.

Everyday I learn something new about what could happen to my car and everyday I say, not another thing

Thank you I think you kind of answer my question there's one other won the rule out on a 6.6 turbo diesel thank you

I would assume that the reservoir had to be changed, with the oil in, it has a sensor... Also thermostat, temp coolant sensor, fan switch, gets all affected... What do you think...

I have a 2006 Audi A4 cabrio and I just had the same thing happen to me tonight. Is this a common problem with VAG (VW, Audi, lambo, now that they cross parts on engines) autos? Great video! I'm going to flush my system tomorrow and trace coolant lines!!

Hey....I've got a Bora 1.6 and having a problem with the transmission oil mixing with the coolant...the video is helpful..but am wondering if their would be any water in the transmission... how do I go about solving this problem..the previous owner of the vehicle had it parked down for some time......

I noticed in my 2008 F250 6.4 Diesel a Butterscotch creamy substance in my Degas bottle. So, I flushed system out about a month ago. But, now I'm having a hard time moving shift arm into gear and transmission not smooth. So, I checked degas bottle and transmission stick. Dang if it the creamy stuff wasn't in both places. An area mechanic said I probably need to flush again plus get transmission flushed then replace my radiator. What do you think???

@the flat reight mechanic Bought a 03 jetta. Replaced the turbo, alternator and battery. Runs great although i see water coming from the exhaust? I put a small line on the antifreeze reservoir so see if it was goingdown and sure as shit its going down slowly. Only problem is that my oil and transmission fluid look fine..... could this be a start of a blown headgasket or can antifreeze get into the combustion chamber another way?

Hi, I have a 2001 Honda Civic 1.7 vtec. Temp gauge was reading normal but blowing cold air then temp gauge rose very rapidly. Was not far from home. I bought a thermostat figuring that was bad.

Helow man thanks for sharing this info, I have a question, i have a seat corduba 2009 and i sow some oil in the water tank sow i go to the automatic transmission oil coolar to now if is mixing oil and water but how can i now if it s the problem?

Great video. It's made me learn something new about my A3. Since owning the car, I have done a few long trips like 3 to 4 hours in the car. But no over heating. I don't have obvious signs like Mayo on the oil cap, think it's a head gasket. But I got a head gasket tester. The results were - yellow means it's a headgasket Blue means nothing wrong with it And green means possible headgasket or possible contamination. My A3 got GREEN. I don't have oil in the coolant tank like this car does, but is it worth changing the filter and flushing the system, then putting new coolant in? Hope to hear from your reply soon. Thank you.

I have a golden trailblazer . The oil was super low so I refilled it and found out the coolant was low as well but I couldn’t open it up becuase it was presurized , after I let it cook I filled coolant and now the van is leaking this Grayish sludge mixture , it leaked while the van was off but I drove without the engine temp over heating , it stayed way below the half way mark, but now when I parked the van more of that Greyish sludge comes out , what do you think could be wrong ?

I have a similar situation with my 2013 Passat. No signs of anything weird in the motor oil anyhow and so I am worried my cooler transmission cooler bit the dust.

I don't no if your still on this channel are not but if so got a question for you , My friend had me come to his house today to look at his 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0.. He said someone told him the water pump or the transmission cooler was leaking, When i checked it out it was a big hole in a water hose that come straight up from his water pump to around his intake about 6 inches long.. well I took that off but I noticed the water was oil pink really bad, and so is the inside of the radiator... It looks like his transmission lines is running to a separate transmission cooler that is not part of the radiator that someone installed before he even purchased the truck.... its not leaking... would that cooler still cause fluid to back up really bad into his radiator even if it is not leaking the transmission cooler is not leaking?

Hello Flat Rate Mechanic, got a quick query. Hopefully, you see this comment and can answer. :-) I've got an 2011 Opel/Vauxhall Insignia CDTI that I use as my workhorse car. It's got 65,000 miles on the clock and has got oil in the cooler. Hoping it's not a head gasket because they're a nightmare on Insignia's. It'd be a shame to scrap or sell it distressed as it's a good clean car in great condition (exterior and interior). 1) There's no visible white smoke. 2) There's no smell from the exhaust. 3) No milky coloration in the oil. In fact, oil seems fine. 4) No steam from the engine/exhaust. 5) There's no overheating...needle stays at 90 all day long. 6) There was slight diminished acceleration up a motorway/freeway slip road followed by a "coolant low, top up" message on the dashboard but I've driven it 25 miles since with no incident. No limp mode, no significant reduction in performance. What do I find slightly concerning is that there seems to be more oil in the coolant even though I've not run the car for 24 hours. Most of it's still pink with a small grey head. Plus, there were some very small bubbles in the radiator after running it according to Halfords Autocentre. Do you think this is an oil cooler issue or a head gasket issue? Mechanics/Engineers I've called seem split on the issue.

Well unfortunately once coolant contaminants transmission there is a high probability that they'll be permanent damage caused to the transmission. Flushing it out several times is your best bet In hope that it will save it. It's really all you can do. And as for the sludge in the overflow tank chances are it was probably just residual. It's really hard to get all that stuff out of the system once it's in there. I have successfully flushed transmissions in the past but we also make sure the customer is fully aware that it could possibly not help at all. Best of luck.

After many KZread videos and research I had learned when coolant and tranny fluid mix together due to a bad intercooler one is supposed to flush the engine as well because the coolant runs through the thermostat and such also. Causing that fluid to be present in other parts of the engine. I know they didn’t do and engine flush. They also didn’t replace transmission fluid filter.

I've got a Bora....and am seeing oil in the coolant reservoir.....my mechanic said I have to get a new engine..

I replaced my oil cooler on c4 grand Picasso, and oil still going in water bottle, been told engine sounds to good to be head gasket, does not smoke runs normal, no loss of water so…… dunno what else it could be

I have this in my 01 Honda accord what can I check?

If its automatic it is probably your radiator.

What I did I put fresh clean water in the radiator (if you have a transmission oil coolant in the radiator) and then took a pump and started pumping and looking p straight down at the radiator cap to see if there bubbles coming up

Could someone tell me please. I found black cooland in the radiator, it looks like oily, but there is no any overheating. Thanks in advance

If you mix the wrong coolant with the required (G12, I believe) The resulting mixture will turn dark.
