HI can anybody help, have an over heating problem thats frustrating me. Flushed system, no change. Replaced damaged rad, thermostat, (it had been removed), some one posted on here that it needs 2 stage thermostat (to close off bypass port in head) when it opens is that correct? If so have fitted wrong one supplied by local car spares shop. Replaced water pump (as was doing timing belt kit anyway), am now going to reverse flush cooling system from top hose with thermostat out till system runs clean. Will then refit everything with 2 stage thermostat (if required) Any further suggestions welcome. Hoping this will solve the problem? Also 2 stage rad fan inoperative. Have had it running on both speeds by manually operating relays then accidently shorted one out on engine and now niether will work. Fan still runs if I give it feed from battery. Also have voltage at relays when fan is unplugged which disappers when you plug fan in???? HELP!!!
