Overheating Mystery Revisited
Overheating Mystery Revisited
Hey guys,
I've searched for a similar situation to mine, and have yet to find anyone with the same issue. My LOWER hose is cold to the touch, upper is hot, and feels like it's flowing. When I'm driving, it takes about 30 mins to heat up, where it ends up slowly creeping up to the max. While driving, if I turn on the heater fan, it blows air so damn hot it feels like I could melt a candle, I might try that! Haha. Tried the suggestion of bleeding the bubbles out with the spill free funnel. Drained, flushed and refilled the rad. Pressure in the cap is fine. Any thoughts?

Sounds exactly like a thermostat stuck in the open position, or thermostat has been removed.
