Hi!
I have a problem with overheating.
Haynes tells of a early and a late cooling system, I'm guessing my 1600 should have the late system but the early one is installed.
The main difference is the placing of the thermostat, in the early system it's placed before the water pump and on the late it's placed at the top outlet(or inlet?).
With disconnected hoses the engine wants to flush out water from the top of the engine when it's running.
It seems the placement of the thermostat is going to block water from going to the radiator far beyond the time it should.
So should I just connect a late cooling system? Will it solve the overheating problem?
Thanks in advance
