OVERHEATING!!!!!!!!!!! - Aro51 - 05-21-2007

I woke up Sunday morning at 6:00 and headed out to the autocross in Miami. I was on the Florida turnpike until 30 mins later I see my temperature rising slowing and the emergency light faded on slowly. I pulled over and I took a look under the hood and nothing was leaking. I hopped back in and kept going, keeping an eye on the temperature. I noticed the temperature would bounce around when im going past 60. I headed home in dissapointment. The water pump was already replaced before this incident. It might be the radiator? any suggestions?



Thank you,

Alex

do not drive it any farther - you really need to get that sorted out before something very bad happens



it could be a failed pump - it happens with new ones too



could be a stuck tensioner - causes the pump to not be driven



the likely suspect though is that it could be a stuck thermostat

Did you bleed the cooling system?

Are hoses getting hot top and bottom?



Fans kicking on?



I'm betting water pump...



just my $.02 (Got change for a Hundred?)

I'll second the vote for stuck thermostat.

Check Fluid levels when cool. I didn't have leaks but had overheating episodes.

I started to notice that coolant level in the reservoir kept going down, but no leaks

and no coolant on the ground. Eventually I got white smoke upon start-up,

after a new head gasket no problems. Losing coolant without obvious leaks

is a bad symptom.
