Overheating problem
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:33 pm
Ok I've got a 1.4 8v and seam to be having a slight problem with it over heating.
It will sit at 92-94 while moving but once I stop in traffic or heaven forbid traffic jams it's shoots through the roof, I do have to point out I've never let it get so high that the fan kicks in as I generally turn the internal heating on full wak an vent it out the windows to draw the heat away.
I've been told it could be a head gasket problem but it had both that an radiator replaced not so long ago,
My only other line of thinking is its either a air blockage somewhere or the thermostat is screwed.
Any ideas???
