Does your fan come on when the engine is on or when the engine gets hot?

If yes, perform a bleed on cooling system and check water pump.
If no, you already know the problem.

And please, I need to know the rewire that installed horns on engine block. shocked shocked cheesy
Plastic horns for that matter.

Anytime I observe unusual rise in the temperature gauge, my first port of call is the cooling fan.

And I believe such has been checked, but anything beyond this, I dunno.

If the previous owner in America see it now, he go just die.

1. Check for leakages on the radiator.
I suggest you remove it and take it for a wash.

2. Is you fan working?! Get electrician to check the fan or change to double fan.

3. You must change that gasket too.

Re: Help Me Find A Permanent Solution To My Overheating Car by adonainana: 3:54pm On Aug 16, 2020
Its probably your radiator

When did the problem start

Perhaps the fans in the radiator is not keeping the engine cool enough to help it nor overheat

Its 90 percent a radiator problem most likely

Couple of things can make a vehicle overheat such as ;

Low or No Coolant
Bad Thermostat
Air in the Line
Bad radiator
Old coolant

Possible Solutions ;

Top off your coolant level to max .
Find and replace your thermostat.
Bleed the air out of the coolant pressure hose line.
Replace a faulty Radiator.
Drain and Flush old coolant from the car .

Look into any of these and see if it helps .

Goodluck

Though I do not have a car yet, a driver shared his experience on Thursday of how overheating problem almost made him sell his sienna car. He spent a whole lot changing parts without any improvement until he met someone who advised him to remove that silencer( hope I got the spelling right?) and check for blockage. I can not recollect the name of the silencer part that blocked but ever since he fixed that the car had been ok. According to him, the blockage would return the heat back to the engine and dry up water.You can try that

It once happen to me..se its two things..your radiator is dirty..itis blocked with dust and sand.u will take it to mechanic..they will remove the radiator.n take it to car wash..the car wash will use that spraying gun to blow the inside with hard pressure spray of water..u will see sands n dirts there after fix it back.let d mechanic fix it back n u will pray for me..second..if u change ur fan.i mean if the fan stop working .then expect over heating..but if the fan is working..go n wash your radiator with that spraying gun pressure.

How is he to keep the engine clean? Is he the state and federal government that are to maintain roads


Or do u want him to be washing his engine daily or what. Anytime u wash engine, u run risk of water going into the wrong place, and ur car will develop massive fault

Engines are not built to be washed

the chances that your head gasket is gone is very high, you need a mechanic who is good at investigating a blown head gasket and also check for leaks within the cooling system

Bro, sorry for ur troubles. First, start by cleaning ur engine. Dirt on the engine and the radiator causes overheating. Bring out the radiator and do a proper steam cleaning of the radiator. Get a 65 degrees or less thermostat. Once the temperature raises to 65 degrees, the thermostat opens and the water pump sends water from the radiator to cool ur engine down. Check ur water pump and if possible replace it. Also confirm that ur radiator fan is working effectively. Do all this and I don't see a reason why ur car engine should be overheating.

Its a common problem with golf n e sabi catch fire cuz of that. Just be careful else it goes in flames. Start diagnosing everything that causes overheating, from water pump, radiator leaks or blocked, weak fan etc. Also check if ders some water mixed in d oil, that means the top gasket has burnt
