Overheating issues

[_bORdO_]

so the thermostat is new...
And its not the gasket or any coolant/water pump leaks?

so maybe it could be a slipping belt?
check the condition and tension of the belt.
when it slips it may stop the water pump from pushing water fast enough.
when it slips it can stop the fan from turning fast enough for proper cooling.

If its not this... im sorry im out of ideas.

yeh im out of ideas too ah well
it seems to overheat bit slower now lol
belt is all tensioned i did it for somethin else so i know its done,
i checked the oil no signs of water(milky colour)
and no signs of oil in water system either

i was readin up on how else to check if the head gaskets gone, ill perform some other tests soon

The one time my DA overheated, it turned out that the earth strap going from the front of the valve cover to the chassis was not connected was causing the gauge to go to hot. so check all the grounds/earths.

you cant force the fans on, they only come on when the a/c is on.

Actually you can. You do this by shorting out the radiator fan plug with a wire - its a simple effective trick when your fan's thermo switch fails.
Also, it looks like you're getting mixed up between the radiator fan and the air con fan. Different circuits.

i think i might be... i thought they were the same thing

on a da, the 2 fans are there, and they both turn on regardless of ac or thermo switch

PM premature vtec, he fixed a simular issue with his mates integra and he could help.

he bought this kit from somewhere for real cheap too.

good luck
