TwoLitrePinto Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 its happend to me a few times. done a head gasket on a renault megane, put new thermo in it, kept boiling up, tried everything, compression was fine, fan was fine, tried another thermo, perfect. also be careful to put them in the right way easy mistake to make!
Chris! Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 ive found an old one at the back of the garage ill try that first Chris if not yes pleasey Let me know if you need it
Mr Sam Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 also be careful to put them in the right way easy mistake to make! ill not yet mention which way ive put it for fear of looking very silly (although i only put the new one in how the old one came out) but which way up should they be
RossMK2 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 just a thought and you probably know this but you get diferent opening temps it will say the open tem on it also have you got to much antifreeze in cause this can cause overheating
Mr Sam Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 its in the right way then the coolant was very very green when i opened it up and i topped it up with straight water, maybe thats a little too strong then looking into a better cooling fan too as the fezzy one only gets half of the rad and i think its about fooked
