Hi guys. When the weather was cold my old radiator did burst in the middle of long journey. Had more holes on it then on fishing net. ..
I had to finish my journey somehow. So bought and used 2 bottles of radiator sealant, this helped me to return home . (Still had to stop after every 5 minutes to refill radiator with water and let the temp go down)
Now. Back at home I replaced radiator. But now my temperature goes top high ( red light.) After driving about 5-6 miles.
Thought it might be thermostat so replaced with new one - still the same.
Removed thermostat at all to let water flow and cool the system - still the same.
Also replaced green temp sensor - still the same.
Tried to shorten two pins on gauge sensor , just to make fan blow constantly - no difference
Also my radiator is cold in a middle after a good run, but top hot where thermostat hose is. (Top right)
What do you guys think ?
I am sure there is no air gap. Both pipes to heater hot. Also tried to flush the system there is no blockage.
Still have a bad feeling about that radiator sealant somewhere in a system.
Or could it be water pump?
Thank you .
