Bullshit overheating issues.

Postby Robertsbrock » February 19th, 2009, 12:45 am

Last week my car over heated just heading up the street but my heater light didn't come on so i did the whole refill the radiator with water and all that crap and yeah i drove home and it was still hot. Anyways a day later i went out there and put more water in the radiator and turned the car on and went up the street again , but about 2 minutes up the road the car overheated AGAIN , so i turned around drove back home and parked it for a week , So yesterday i went and looked around the engine area and everything and found out my radiator pipe had a hole in it , so i took it off and replaced it ($46) went ahead bought coolent refilled it again and went for a drive up the street and what happens over heats again so i drove it home. Today i went and took the thermostat thing off and replaced it and cleaned it out and all that jazz and checked all my fuses and went and took the car for a drive and about 5mins later it over heated again but this time it wasnt the no water in the radiator light wasn't on it was the thermo light ..

SO if anyone has a idea or some constructive help please let me know ... Brock

or your head gasket is fucked, i'd get a cooling pressure tester, fill the system up, fit it to your header tank and start your car, if its any higher after half an hour then 15psi, i'd be looking at the head gasket.

Thanks for the ideas guys , i had a some mechanic mates come around today at lunch and they are telling me that the harmonic balancing thing has been pushed back and its spat the belt which makes the fan roll and keep everything nice and cool . so shes booked in to the mechanics for monday so ill see what happens.

head gasket most likey with the water spewing out the radiator.

take the fuel pump relay out, start car and let it run out of fuel. take the plugs out and crank it. if water sprays (smell it to be sure its not fuel, taste it if u have to, u wont die) out the plug holes its a head gasket. refit plugs, re fit fuel relay, turn car yo on (position 2) til u hear the pump stop. turn off and repeat 3 or 4 time (to get fuel up to injectors) before starting
