Posts: 35 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Cooling issues... A few problems: 1. Heater works very rarely (wish is annoying as its winter) 2. Temp goes alot over 90 and occasionally up to the next dash 3. When it does get up and past the dash that's only when the fan comes on Guessing it could be a head gasket in the worse case or i could have an airlock or water pump may have gone. Just need to know how to find out wich is actually is, and how to do them. Thanks.

Posts: 2,381 Thanks: 135 Trader Rating: 3 ![]() | Re: Cooling issues... there should be a bleed nipple by the heater at the back of the engine bay (central) ans one behind the drivers side right if i remember correctly, try those first if no luck pressure test the cooling system if the head gasket s one the needle should fluctuate as some gasses are getting into the cooling system hope this is some help to you Ash ![]()
