Reply To: CAR OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVEN FOR LONGER MILES

[GERMAN]

HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I HAD THE TIMING BELT/WATER PUMP CHANGED. BEFORE I HAD THE TIMING BELT CHANGED, I REPLACED THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR, THERMOSTAT FROM THE DEALER. THE FANS ARE WORKING BUT HAVEN’T CHANGE THE RADIATOR. BEFORE THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM BY MY SISTER, THE TEMP GAUGE IS USUALLY BELOW THE HALF MARK (AROUND 3/8) ALWAYS. AFTER, IT’T AT HALF AND WHEN DRIVEN OVER 15 MILES+ THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP THEN DOWN THEN UP AGAIN. TURN MY HEATER ON TO HELP DESIPATE THE HEAT AND GOES DOWN BUT ABOVE HALF. HAVE NOT REPLACE THE RADIATOR YET. MY FRIEND (USE TO WORK WITH HONDA DEALERSHIP) WAS INSTRUCTING TO DO LIKE: REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, TEMP SENSOR, BLEED THE COOLANT, CHECK THE FANS IF WORKING, ETC. TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE A CYLINDER HEAD PROBLEM. TRYING TO GET OTHER IDEAS FROM THIS FORUM BEFORE I DECIDE TO HAVE MY CYLINDER HEAD FIX. THANKS!
