My car is just destined to overheat. In the last week i replaced the thermostat, radiator, hard wired to fans to they stay on, had the water pump checked and its working fine. While im driving it starts to over heat, according to my autometer temp gauge it runs at about 210-235 degrees. So last night i took out my thermostat and run it with that out and it still over heats. So i dont know what to do now. Hope some 1 can help me.

 

is ur headgasket bad?

do u blow white smoke/ loss of power/ coolent overflow tank overfill/ oil in coolent/ coolent in oil ? any of those symptoms?

 

sounds like head gasket to me...are you blowing smoke out the tail pipe?

could it be a headgasket problem if your not blowing smoke? i have had the coolant overflow tank overfill(boiling) im misfiring and was overheating, heat seems to be fine now that i replaced thermo but it still gets up there on since i put my turbo on a few days ago

 

nope not blowing ne smoke out of the tail pipe, coolant overflow tank is fine, no coolent in my oil either. Wouldnt i always be at a loss for power if I blew my head gasket, not just when it gets hot?

 

Possible blockage/corrosion buildup?

 

did u feel the lower rad. hose? is it hot or cold? could be clogged radiator, bad gauge, still air in the system(i doubt it). how did u check to see if your water pump is good?

 

Check for bubbles in your coolant, or there is a special chemical that shops use when they test for blown headgaskets. I have yet to get one of em to tell me what it is. Hope ya figure it out,

i didnt personally check the water pump, the mechanic did not sure how though, but im swappin a new water pump in tommorow b/c i see that as the only thing that could be wrong. Everything else is new.

 

Have you bled the air out of the system?
