Engine running hot - coolant at 100+

[jade]

[QUOTE=Ross;748964]To tie up this thread - the overheating problem was a clogged radiator. It looks like, at some point, probably a mix of coolant types has caused gunk to collect and I guess since the rebuild it's got worse.

I am chasing cooling problems also, today I replaced my stat and finally may fan is kicking in, but also seem to be at 94c. My rad also was replaced in 2009 I have always had very clean coolant, but maybe will try flushing also

A job well done mate

Cheers! Took me long enough... buying a house that needed gutting and having a baby didn't help

Good news Ross

[rj scotty]

People take note of Ross's example,this is how it should be done

1. Identify problem

2. Use collective forum knowledge/ingenuity/intelligence to rectify

3. FINISH WITH THE CONCLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To many problem posts with no conclusion, my pet hate

Well done Ross glad it's all sorted, see you at Adi
