S Type Overheating

Postby PaulHaskey » Wed Jun 13, 2018 9:54 pm

Hi

My temperature gauge goes up to around 80% on journeys.  The fan seems to be working ok and there is plenty of coolant in the system.  I've been advised to check the temp of the water in the rad with a thermometer to see if the gauge is working.  The engine has had a lot of work done so I don't think there's anything major going on, but the rad feels a bit furred up in the neck.

Complete coolant flush and then new thermostat, water pump could be failing also. :mrgreen:
