Hi, I have got a cooling problem with my CA18DET in my 1600 and
I am lost as to what it is.. Any help would be great! Basically the thermostat opens at 82 degrees, but my car
will warm up to 90 and stay there whilst driving but sit at the lights for a
little bit and it gets up near 100 with the thermofan
on… Even when cruising at 80 kmph it
won’t run any cooler than 90… It is an Alloy two row radiator with similar dimensions to
the std 1600 one, and it runs a recovery style cap with a recovery tank.. The recovery tank never has hot water in it. There is never
enough pressure to let water into the recovery tank even though the temp is so
high.. It has me very confused. Also another strange thing is that the level of water in the
radiator always seems to drop to the same level (around the height of the top
outlet) whenever you let the car cool down. You can fill it up to the top when its cold but then once you drive it and then take the cap
off again the next day it is low again! The oil is still oily and the water is still watery so I
don’t think it’s a head gasket.. Any other ideas or suggestions?? I have been told to try a bigger thermo but if it wont even cool down to near 82ish when I’m cruising at
80 then how will a bigger thermo help?? Cheers, Mark. Ps I have tried two different temp gauges they both told the
same story.. --- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [email protected] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
