(From Smurf.)
Im getting a thermostat put in tommorrow, and getting radiator cleaned out thoroughly. Im not sure its a head gasket problem, my brother did a compression test on all 4 cylinders and they turned up fine, there is no oil in the water/water in the oil, radiator dude said he had a look and head gasket seemed fine.
Ive never had the car overheat on me before, though Ive never gone as far as the coast yet (1hr drive). My brother on the other hand has had it overheat twice for him, both long trips. Though I can drive around locally for a few hours and it wont overheat, but when the car is parked and let it cool completely. Therell be a lot of water gone, more if I drive longer. There is absolutely no leaking either, from under the car I have seen none.
Perhaps without the thermostat, the water is continously going around and after filling up radiator to full and going on a long trip (going to coast sitting at 100kms, about 3000rpm) the water becomes very hot, then perhaps its evaporating? Because once the car is cooled, there is no water to be seen. I filled radiator fully and went to airport and back from strathpine on the weekend, there was no overheating but there was no water to be seen in raditor once car had completely cooled.
Perhaps there is a split in a hose that the water is evaporating through?
I only got my GT4 about a week ago, so still have alot to learn, but those are my theories so far.
Any ideas?
