yet another overheating P38:doh:

2000 4.6 vogue lpg 71k overheats but not all the time, cant find any leaks no water in oil no smoke/steam from exhaust.... bottom hose and bottom of rad was cold when top hose was hot so replaced thermostat,, seemed to cure the problems for a week,, then tonight drove about 9 miles and the temp gauge flew up to hot stopped and released the pressure from the expansion tank which was boiling, the top hose is hard but not rock hard.. she was running on pure h2o as soon as i releaed the pressure the gauge went back to normal temp ???? dont think its head gasket as problem seems to be intermittant im thinking airlock/blocked rad ?? any suggestions guys
 
try taking small pipe off the top of rad water should come out to feed the hether tank if you just get steam good chance you got air lock
 
no didnt hav ethe aircon on, just cant understand why it doesnt overheat all the time,,,
 
suely if it was the block it would be doing it all the time but can go days without overheating
 
not to bad mate andyou. do you mean irontite? i got it in mine just now been in 5 months while we build new engine worked for me
