so the radiator fan motor went bad and the car was overheating. now i notice when the guy took the fan out it was bigger than the one he put in . twice bigger. anyway now the car is fine when i drive at night or morning but when its real hot in the afternoon the temp gauge leaves the midway point and starts climbing to hot. never used to do this before when my old fan was good. the temp gauge just stayed permanently in the halfway point. do you think its the fan size ? its one kazeem i used and he bought the fan from obalende. not sure it was brand new

My car overheated about a month ago,it was then and there I knew Nigerians have bad mouth. Thru out that day,my car no overheat,it was when I stopped using the ac I quickly realised my temp guage has passed half and was racing to the red /hot zone mark. I quickly parked. Later noticed my hose was leaking ,from thr the engine fan stopped. I thank God I quickly noticed and my gasket didn't burn. I replaced the fan motor,hose. Everything cost 8k with workmanship. Since then my temp guage doesn't exceed 2 to 3 pins. No coolant,I used distilled water from my AC and the cooling multiplied . I will do top up with Mobil coolant later. What causes over heating leaky hose,fan motor malfunction...leading to overheating
