crawleysam Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 So since owning my GT I've had a real problem with overheating, I've replaced the radiator, thermostat and the waterpump to cure it. Although it has done about 95% there is still a problem were it overheats, for example earlier I was on my way to mfn, I was boosting quite hard on high boost and i saw the gauge creep up so decided to pull over and check. The reservoir was almost full, as in literally almost coming out the top and it was still hot. Now all prior to this it was fine. No issues until then. so what could it be? ive been told the higher pressures are lifting up the headgasket, and letting air in. Is that the most viable prognosis or is it something trivial im missing like the flux capacitor is off or something stupid. any advice would be brill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 If youve tried the obvious things then it sounds like its got, either a massive air lock in the system or a fucked rad cap or worst case HG on the way out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
