Radiator!!!

[sipderdoc]

:confused5:The heat is impressive, I wondered .. there was any kind of mod that can be done to radeador so that the temperature drop in the level of normal temperature?
i change the water pump and valve electro-fan, and his temperature is normal, but I would like to be a little more low temperature, to offset the extra heat is generated, when you turn on your air conditioning..

some ideas?

i think theres thermostats that open up at a lower temp. not sure. il check.

Change out the thermostat to one that opens up at a lower temperature if you want to lower the temperature of the radiator. Your engine is designed to work at a higher temperature than you think it should. If you lower the temperature too much, your gas mileage will decrease.

What temp is your car running at now? Or are just assuming its too hot.

[sipderdoc]

the temperature is kept ok, right in the middle of the meter ... I was not really that much degrees centigrade, but when I turn on the air conditioning, the temperature rises one quarter more than half, even reheat the cart

how old is the radiator? have you had it serviced recently? it may need to be cleaned out.

[sipderdoc]

This is the original car radiator, 1992. I will send to repair six months ago because it had a small pot of water. until the sun today has given me no problems of lost water

My temp gauge reads over 3/4 of the way to hot when the A/C is on, it has never overheated though
