OK, ive flushed the system, bleed it, and it still is running hot. WTF. Btw, im running about 25/75 coolant/water. I also put in a bottle of water wetter. It did nothing. The temp usually gets up to about the 3/4 or a little past(close to the red), but if i turn off the a/c it stays between 1/2-3/4. It use to run around the 1/4 mark. I have the fans set and the 160 stat. The temp outside has been around 88. Whats going wrong, any guesses??????

 

Anyone know??

 

If you think you have done everything correct how about the thremostat. When was the last time it was changed out? Another thing also is did you change out your plugs lately? The reason is there is a small temp sensor between plug #1-#3 that's easy to break if not careful.

You might still have air in the system.... Turn your heat on and check your fluid level, it might have went down... Thats what happened to me...

 

do you have an aftermarket electric water pump? how old is your thermo? my AC has been draining my battery quite a bit lately and my car runs about halfway up the guage with it on for extended periods on high. thats what happens when you live in texas. if the car isnt "overheating" then just tone down the AC, roll the windows down more often for natural interior cooling, make sure all of the air is out of your tubes

 

I thought you were supposed to do 50/50 coolant/water

 

if he is running with problems though there is no sense in wasting coolant if he is burning any. as long as he has a significant ammount of coolant and water its ok.
