Heating Problem! **I GIVE UP!** Sun, 02 October 2005 07:59 Go to previous message
hey all.
ive never had a heating problem or anything b4, and im pretty sure that the radiator isnt stock as its fair big and chunky for a stock 4af.

i pulled out of maccas and into the servo to grab fuel, car was fine up untill that moment into the servo. steam started to piss out of the bonnet and as i knew that the top hose needed replacement i thought it had shat itsself. so i park and turn it off. i get under the bonnet but the steams pissing out of the resivior tank.

being the slow f*cker i am, i remove the cap thinking its empty(hoping thats the reason it overheated.)luckily i used a rag, but i was derffinetly wrong, i lost a shitload of fluid and the cap Razz

so, the radiator was full, the hoses were all fine. the head gasket is fine, but there is a lil sumfin that floats to the top of the radiator ever now and then, but i think that might jus be crap in the radiator.

i eventualy found the cap and filled the radiator up and tried to bleed it, but the thermo fan never came on. 15mins later it starts to boil over and no fan.

does this mean thermo stat? or is it thermo fan? or wat.
im not keen starting stopping to get it home, but i was told to hook the thermo fan to battery to keep it running permanently. and my dad reacons i should remove the thermo stat. but i dunno bout the two ideas as my dad hasnt touched a car mechanically since he was like 19-20 lol.

thanks in advance,
jason
