Concerned

Hey guys, wondering if anyone could help. Last weekend my car over heated. Took it to mechanic and no leaks anywhere. Figured out it was thermostat. He replaced it and told me that he doesn't understand why my fans are constantly running after the car warms up. He said one side of the radiator is hotter than the other side. He said I might need to replace radiator?

Any thoughts? Please help, thanks!

btw it's an 04 G35 coupe

Depending on how many miles you have on your G, it's possible that part or most of your radiator is plugged up. Rather than going to the dealership find a reliable RADIATOR SHOP in your neighborhood, they can do a flow test and tell what kind of condition it's in. If you don't use distilled water along with your radiator fluid you get mineral build up which is like cement aventually....

A DIY (if you are sure your radiator is having flow issues) would be to remove your radiator from your car and flush it with some caustic stuff like drain-O, and it still wouldn't get all of the minerals out...
