It will overheat on hot days or under load, say a steep hill, giving it a quick boot on a hot day will send temp guage on a hige hike into the reds.. pull over and thermostat will cool it down eventually. I replaced the termostat today, its normal operating temp is on half way .. which apparently their thermostats open at 89-93 celsius .. so its already running hotter then it should even on a cold day .. collant is bright green, no rusty colour, no coolant leaks anywhere.. could a mechanical issue cause overheating? Idk which way to tackle this thing .. help? Please and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
