Does the hot coolant fom the engine enter the radiator throught the top hose and return to the engine through the bottom hose on a 2002 3.4? Or is it the other way around?
Think about it. What if the radiator was a little low? The top hose would become useless to feed the engine. The water pump sucks water in from the bottom of the radiator, pushes it through the block, and out the block to the top of the radiator.BBTaco said:Does the hot coolant fom the engine enter the radiator throught the top hose and return to the engine through the bottom hose on a 2002 3.4?

What the temp gauge sees depends where the temp sensor is located.
My BMW motorcycle has one sensor for the gauge and another for the ECU, in different locations.
