If I'm just driving in town at 30 mph the AC still causes the guage to rise quite a bit above "normal". The hills I talk to are not "really steep", but I know they do affect it a bit like any car..
Before I got timing belt replaced it never did this. The "fan" does kick in, I can hear it when testing. I tried to "bleed out" any possible air bubbles and didn't notice any. I've read LOTS of people talking about cruisers and changing thermostats, hoses, etc. Is this just a cruiser problem I deal with, or any other ideas? If one plug was bad could it be making the engine work harder without me noticing?
There is no noticable difference in sounds or performance right now other than the temp guage trying to make it to the red. Last year it overheated quickly.. Any ideas, suggestions, are welcome. Thank you all for your time. Hi Alex. I think I may be less mechanically inclined than you, but I'm having the same problem with the same car- same year and all.
I don't drive much, so I haven't really been motivated to get the car fixed, but I was wondering if I might be able to ask you a few questions so I don't have to reinvent the wheel, as it were. Are you putting a mix of water and coolant in, or is it straight coolant? Someone told me a blown gasket could cause the engine to overheat- said you could check that by checking the oil a good while after it's been changed and you'd expect it to be a bit dirty looking.
I hope that's not what I have Yep I have a and that was my prblem. One of my fans wasnt coming on.. Had to get it fixed. I have a 06 Pt Cruiser and I had to replace the radiator fan twice. I got a warantee on this one. My PT is one of the first , built in It has , miles on it. The problem of overheating started simple and got bigger.
Propellers rust away. No propellers, no flow. Yes this causes overheating as well. I know this may be hard to follow, kind of rambling. I hope it helps somebody. I will make this part short. If you are overheating, and you did not maintaing your coolant system. Your thermostat, waterpump, and radiator are probably crap. If you did maintain it, then, it may just be a fan issue or something small like a thermostat or something.
If you overheated it alot then you probably blew a head gasket, warped the head and might as well do everything like I did. Check the easy stuff first and if it continues good luck. Share Share this post on Digg Del. Re: Overheating fixed, what I have learned. Mine does not overheat.
If it does, I will come back to this check list. Very interesting. Sorry to hear about all the hellish repairs you needed to go through. How about another story. Ac not working, relieving pressure when at idle. So along with the overheating problems, my sister also had the "no ac at idle" problem. Prior to the overheating she also experienced this for a few months.
After reading these boards for the last 6 months, I found out that the low speed was not working on the fan. As you know from my above post, I replaced the fan during my journey. You may also know that you have to break the ac lines during these repairs.
So, I did a little troubleshooting. Sooo I knew I was getting the power. Must be the relay. This week, I will be trying an oem relay, because "aftermarket relays" dont work well. It can also be the thermostat that tells the fan when to come on or off that could be at fault. The coolant exits the engine and enters the radiator. Simply put, the radiator is a series of finned tubes that cool the coolant so that it can return to the engine and pull more heat from it.
The radiator can fail in a few ways. It can become so grimmy with deposits that it can no longer cool the engine all of the way. This is a likely scenario when your engine is running hot but not overheating. As time goes by, the radiator will only get worse until it can no longer cool the engine.
Or, you can order a new one. Some people have success using a cure in a bottle cleaner. After the engine temperature reaches a certain level, the thermostat automatically opens up. This regulates the amount of coolant flowing through the engine.
