stephenponti:That's your problem right there. Change to coolant first. The coolant colour would enable you find the leaky spot(i doubt if you have any leak) . |

Fortunately I have been able to solve this problem Two things I did that finally solved it. 1. I dismantled the radiator completely. Took it to car wash they flushed it thoroughly, as the cells still had few blockages. I flushed the condenser too. Then I installed the radiator back. 2. I refilled the system with 2 litre of coolant and the rest with water. I then started the car with ac on for 30min and the temperature stayed on 80 against 95/100 it would have read previously. The ac also is now very much chilling. Thank you all. |
