Hi,
I've a Hyundai accent 2000. The engine get heated very fastly (within 10 miles). l had it checked it and found that the coolant level is very low. l filled it but l noticed a significant loss of coolant within couple of days. There is no leak at all.

Has any one experienced the same problem? Any solutions?

Thanks

Have a local radiator shop run a pressure test. It will help on finding your problem

there has to be a leak in one of the hidden hoses or maybe in ur radiator if not coolant would not be wasting that quickly.

see if u have any water in u engine oil.
could be a blown head gasket.
also just adding water is not a good idea, it must be a 50/50 mix. antifreeze boils at a higher temp than water. also check ur radiator cap. if it is no longer any good it is allowing the water to get to a higher temp than need be.
replace the cap just to be safe. if it is not sealing correctly that allows the mixture to rise to a higher temp.
after you've added water, how long does it take for the engine to overheat? if within a few miles it may be the thermostat.
just a few suggestions to look at.
good luck to ya.

Get The cooling system presure checked & get the head gasket checked. A reasonable mechanic should be able to do this in under half an hour. It sounds like u either have an external leak at a hot point so the coolant evaporates before it falls to the floor (You should be able to smell it with the bonnet up & engine running) or an internal leak. That would probably be a head gasket leaking coolant into the oil (check oil for a milky look) or into the combustion chamber. (Check tailpipe for steam). If it is a head gasket it will mean the head coming off motor, while it is off it is often a good idea to get it check for cracks & surface machined to reduce risk of it happening again in near future.
