03 Infiniti G35 sedan overheating?!
#16
That engine overhaul sounds a bit dramatic. I'm no exactly experiencing those exact symptoms. The dealeriship says they are going to change this sensor "sending?" Unit ... I can't remember what he said it was called but he thinks that might be causing the car to overheat and cool. When I drove it to the dealership it didn't heat up at all it stayed below the half point the whole time and I made a few stops which the cars had to sit for about 30mins and it didn't over heat.... I'm sooo confused

1. your coolant might not be flowing fast enough to take the heat out of the engine
have someone check the pressure on your pipes, if its clog then thats the problem.
at normal temperature your low coollant flow is able to take out the heat in your engine but at high temperature your low coolant flow isnt enough, could be restriction problems.
2. your water pump, have a tech check your water pump if its fine have them check the belts, at higher RPMs it may be slipping.
3. wild guess, could be ambient air flow through your radiator, that plastic cover under the engine close to the front bumper has a purpose (air flow). or could be that your condenser is blocking air flow through your radiator since it sits in front of it, unable to cool of the the coolant in the radiator.
theres a lot of things that can over heat your car, unless we, or a tech can find the source all we can do is guess

Overheating
It overheated because the radiator had a small leak and I was being lazy and didn't fix so it got low and radiator busted so replaced radiator and thermostat flushed the system and everything seemed fine but then the temp gauge started climbing up so thought my fan clutch was bad because i didnt hear it engage anymore so replaced it and drove the car and started climbing up after a while then i remembered to bleed the system but nothing was coming out but got it to come out after reving with heater on full blast and hot air came out finally but I go to bleed one more time an snap it broke so now I have replace the bleeder valve

My car is also overheating and is definitely not an indication problem, when I opened my hood steam was coming out the reservour tank and radiator fluid was boiling all the way to the top of the tank, spraying all over the engine bay. This started to occur after I got it back from the dealership for the Valve body replacement. I don't know how is related, but maybe they did something that is causing the engine to overheat or maybe not.

If the pump is leaking water it would leak right into the crankcase.

If you check the oil do you observe small traces of coolant in the oil? Does the oil smell different? Can you see an oily slick floating on top of the coolant in the radiator or overflow tank? Does the coolant level drop at all....do you have to always add coolant to the car? Does the exhaust smell like coolant?
