ok here we go...i was driving my car to work which is like 30 miles in tha AM means 45 minutes...drove fine and then while sitting in traffic it starts to get warmer...well i move up a lil bit and then it goes down, i got home that night and then looked and i was a lil bit low on antifreeze/coolant. so i put some in and then it was fine for a while(that i noticed anyway) few weeks later it does the same thing, i was at chic fil a and waiting in line and it gets warm...i scooted up about 5 feet and it cools back down, then the day after im sitting outside my house waiting on the old lady to come outside and then i hear a noise sounding like the fan it hitting the shroud..then it stopped..but now i have a lil bit too much a/c in the overflow and it did the same thing...mayB a line is clogged so the a/c doesnt get into the radiator? or thermostat? any help will be appreciated...

 

do you see any leaks or anything?

 

nope just the one from my drain plug and it went away with the new plug...leak free

 

Did you bleed the system when you replaced the drain plug? Sounds like you have some air in there.

 

flush the radiator and make sure that you thermostat is not get stuck cause of rusty water

 

drain plug as in oil.... im going to replace my thermostat this weekend and see if it works

 

i think the drain plug he's refering to is the coolant drain plug.

 

did you figure it out? if not i would look into replacing the thermostat, i had the same problem when i would be driving on the highway, or getting some food. I bought a new thermostat problem fixed. Drove to orlando the following weekend with traffic never had the problem.

 

change thermo=problem solved


...takes 5 minutes to change
