My car used to overheat. Today I remove the AC radiator thingy infront of the radiator. It runs at a nice 180 now. All day long. Thing is, it doesn't look like its clogged all that much. It dirty, and some of it is clogged. But not most of it.

So im think that its an airflow issue. But im not sure if the AC caused it, or just removing it allowed a lot more air to get to the radiator.

On to the questions

1.) What is the cause of the overheating?

2.) Is there a braket i can buy so i can have the AC out and not have to tie my radiator to the front of my car?

 

Well if you took the condensor out and now its not doing it then I would agree its an airflow problem. Does it do it when it idles? Theres really no where to relocate the condensor, you can remove your a/c if you want. The radiator might just be crapped out.

 

Sorry I should have said that radiator is brand new. Less then a 100 miles on it. Had the same problem with the old one. If it idles long enough it will over heat. THe condensor is no longer in the car. But the radiator mounts to it. I was wondering if there were brackets i can buy to put in place of the condensor so it sits in there nicely.(or maybe a bigger radiator that requires the condensor to be removed.
