overheating issues AGAIN
« on: 16 August 2009, 20:11:30 »
ok so i have been having some cooling issuses (mainly on hot hot days), today i have flushed the coolant and replaced it with the correct amount. And the temp gauge is still rising to just below 100. there doesn't appear to be any leaks and the is no mayo in the cap.

when running the car the a/c works although when you put the heater on to max its cold... am i right to think this is the thermostat ? ? ? ? ?

Any Ideas or guides appreciated

Hoses from the radiator... Top hose on near side, bottom hose on offside. If they're both getting hot then it will rule out the stat :y :y

Wait for TB or someone more knowledgeable than me to confirm ::) ::) ::) :D :D :D

I assume you've checked that the vac pipe is attached to the HBV?

You need to check whether you're getting a vacuum at the pipe (assuming it's connected ::) ::)) with varying heat settings and then go from there :y :y
