overheating

[sipderdoc]

ok. my radiator was severely damaged with five small holes but the temperature remained constant always in the middle ..

I'm going on vacation and decided to buy a new radidor.
and as I did. I installed with my father, buy and clear coolant raidador cap ....

after testing the car all day began to heat up ...

can not imagine the frustration I had to note that the car overheating,

difference now is that I can see the top of the new radiaro is 13lb and the previous one was 9 lbs.

it will have something to do with my sudden warming?

Make sure your radiator fan is working. When you took out the old radiator, you may have damaged the fan wiring or forgot to connect the wires when you put in the new radiator.
13 lb radiator cap is better than 9 lb.

also make sure there are no air bubbles trapped in your system, that will cause flash boiling.

the fan works perfectly. I thought it was the temperature sensor, but in the parts store told me that the sensor sends a signal to the electric fan at 95 º c

not know if this temperature range and is very high, and the fan fails to maintain the temperature.

how?

with the water pump designed to pump water, when there are air bubbles now you want it to compress air, and therefore it locally flashes and sends temperatures high..

I had exact same thing happen with air bubbles. Scared the heck out of me when I saw the needle go all the way up.

I pulled over, ran it without the radiator cap for a little bit (to burp the air out), topped up the coolant and never had another issue.

You can also bleed the trapped air by cracking one of the thermostat housing bolts loose to let it vent. When you get a steady dribble, tighten the bolt and top off the radiator. Same thing with the small bypass hose on the thermostat housing. Take your choice.

The engine has to be running. Doesn't have to be hot.

ok .. I change the radiator and had problems with temperature, is that after following the advice (and thank) was still overheating ... change the thermostat and the sensor that sends the signal to the board .. Now the car works perfectly .. Here some pictures of the radiator







the new..
