    Yep, tried to dilute the coolant down today still didn't

    Thanks to Limbo I'm getting my hands on a half size radiator for a good price.

    All should be good soon

    Thanks Limbo!

    radiator bloackage- as discussed before, also it happens alot so dont rule it out

    hoses- blocked/clogged with scale and other cooling system contaminants. or leaking hoses can be an issue also. is your car using coolant?

    thermostat- if your top hose is hot and bottom is cold then generally your thermostat is gone

    cracked head/gasket- if your car has boiled over and cracked the head or gasket then you may have rectified the first overheating problem but now are dealing with a much larger problem. have a mechanic do a headcheck on your car. they generally wont charge for this.

    diluting coolant is not the answer to anybodies problem coolant is supposed to be 50-50 mixed. i reccomend oem coolant because its pretty and blue. but seriously manufacturers in most cases advise that you dont change coolant for the first 100,000 obviously the stuff they use isnt shit
    Yeah coolant can make a big difference

    1. Checked if the fans kicking correctly and staying on while hot?

    2. Checked if the thermostats working by feeling the bottom rad hose to see if it's hot once the fans kicked in a few times?

    Checked both of these, my thermo fan works perfectly and thermostat works perfectly as well.

    What else could it be? Water pump?

    if you've change to a new thermostat & changed the radiator, only thing i can think of is water pump left or a blockage in the pipes or engine.

    If those aren't it it could be a head gasket problem, know to happen in turbo cars.

    Radiator place should be able to tell you where its at.

    My turbo D used to overheat due to a tiny head gasket leak into cylinder 4

    HG changed and never happened again till she blew up hahah

    sounds like you got duped into buying a new radiator haha

    Check the flow of coolant through the radiator cap (from a cold start till warm). I reckon its the thermostat stuck closed. try running it without a thermostat.

    true dat!!

    meh I dont care anymore tbh, I'll keep it anyway lol

    hmmm so headgasket or water pump?

    So how do I determine if either one of these is wrecked?

    Where is the water pump? I read that to get to the water pump you have to remove the timing belt? But this was on a US forum so I'm not sure if its the same

    Also as Lukezen27 mentioned and I might have a small leak in my headgasket how do I tell if its gone? Besides looking for oil in the coolant etc. Would this show even if it is slightly busted?

    i thought you had diagnoised from the radiator guy that it was a blocked radiator?

    When u said thermostat work perfectly you tested the thermostat or you brought a new one?

    Ok Headgasket, u need to do a leak down and exhaust fume test. They test the pressure & they test with this chemical if there is any exhuast fumes leaking into the coolant system.

    waterpump, can't really tell unless you pull it apart. I think it is behind the timing belt.
    i'm not sure on that one.
