Hello, what a great forum! Hope you can help me with mye '03 1.8 petrol freebie..
- when starting engines, temp guage show cold and reach mid temp as normal.
- Driving normal show no sign of overheating of engine, but when driving upwords or with trailer in 4th and 3 - 3,5K rpm, temp guage suddenly start to rise.. If i dont put it in 3rd and lower the rpm, it overheat and coolant comes out of header tank..
- If i stop and idle, it will take about 30sec until the guage is back to mid temp again..
- The car has stand still for about 6 weeks cause of repairs, and one of the things i've done was to change the coolant and replace the thermostat.
I did another flush, change back to the old thermostat and added new coolant the first time the temp guage suddenly was on the red..!
- I've tried to get the air out the way it was described in Haynes, but I suspect its more trapped inside..
What to do...?
The thermostat is the new type[emoji6]
