Nah all gone to shite, needed to go to the Docs 22k kept eye on temps they were 88 so not too concerned.
On the way home that when things went pair shaped stopped at a set of lights and had steam pouring out the
scoop temps were still fine , but obvious there was a problem.
It seemed to be coming from where the thermostat housing fits. It boiled just as I got home.
at my wits end over this,,,,Its not coming out where I drilled and tapped the sender hole.
Ive got a heap of appointments coming up as well

Question why doesn't motor go into limp or something when engine over heats

Did you say the engine temps were fine though?

>>>tappin from tassie

[threedogs]

Yep temps were a tad high but stable and recovering I think the thermostat housing
is loose or no in correctly, Prik of a spot but that my thoughts on it
Either way coolant is pouring out

Only protection is it cuts the air con out I thought...
But you said Temps were fine so it didn't over heat ???
Somethings going on...

yeah I think its the thermostat housing unfortunately
I've never had steam and coolant from that area before
This may be the reason my temps were a tad high?
what ever reason it all has to come out again ,

Anyone free??

[Rossco]

Ah bugger 3d, especially as those things are such a prick to get too. If it lost coolant would explain temps going up. Did you guys put some goo on when it went back together?

[threedogs]

No it was an O ring job no one suggested to use any goo ?

@ Hodge it took from my place to the western ring road
on Ballarat rd to get to 83 degrees about 8-9 kays its always
taken a long time to get to temp
