Lisashortstuff Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Changed thermostat, water pump and had head gasket done but still overheating. Water appears to be circulating properly, any ideas what else could be causing her to overheat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisashortstuff Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yes, kicks in just before it tips into the red and brings it back down to about 3/4 on temp gauge. Since having new thermostats (its had 3 lately) temp gauge sits middle to 3/4 up whereas original one never moved from the cold unless on the rare occasion sat in tonnes of traffic. Totally confused with whats up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffithsbilly86 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Did you check the head for cracks? Silly question I know but we all forget to check these things sometimes. Believe me I have lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frembrit Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I would try changing the Temp sender for a new one in case that is giving false readings. Cheap and worth a try seeing as you had the major things done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmaldon Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Have you changed the expansion tank cap. If its not holding the pressure it will give the same symptoms of a head gasket failure. It will also boil at a lower temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisashortstuff Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks for the help, i'll give them both a go and see how i get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
