Overheating drama


Recommended Posts

Car decided to over heat in traffic yesterday! Pulled over soon as and there was steam and coolant everywhere, the fan had unplugged itself so I plugged the fan back in and let it cool. Carried on driving.

But today it keeps getting hot unless I have the air blowers on hot and full. What should I do?

If the car has overheated and you've continued to use it while it was way too hot then that can do the headgasket...

Make sure you've re-bled the coolant system..

But if the problem persists get a leakdown/sniff test done to determine the health of the headgasket!

As soon as it overheated I pulled over and left it to cool, I plugged the fan back in and turned barrel so the fan cooled it down, had a cig, turned engine over and it was running fine again

Thanks socks! I'll get it done today
