hi guys, my zeds been overheating cince i swaped the engine and im running out of ideas on what it could be, its had a godspeed tt rad (the cars n/a) new cilican hoses z-center electric fan kit as well as a new water pump and thermerstat. ive bled the system several times so dont think its an air lock and im sure everythings plumed in properly, the temp gage reads half way between hot and cold but the fan kicks in after a few miles and the engine does seem to be hot, anyone got any ideas? thanks :confused:

Edit

is the car actually overheating??? boiling up etc..... from what you describe it doesnt seem that abnormal to me. Your not loosing any water i take it. It might be an idea to fit an aftermarket temperature gauge, atleast that way you can be sure what the temperature actually is. I'm not sure what governs the fan cutting in, i know its temperature obviously but whats the trigger for it???? could it be a control problem??

the fan is triggerd by a heat switch in the top hose, im gunna have another play around with it today so il let you know how i get on, thanks for your help :D

check the direction of air flow of the fan the fan in our cars suck air through the rad front to back not blow. if the fan has been put on back to front it will be blowing not sucking , also did you keep the fan shroud as that really helps to keep the cars temp cool

hi guys ive played around with it and all seems fine now, the garage didnt put the bottom hose on properly so it was loosing water 1ce the presser built up and i played around with the fan and top hose. only thing is the temp gauge was reading nearly normal when i went to move it at work yesterday, about 2 n harf hours after parking, think it could be faulty? no i didnt put the shroud back on by the way thanks agen guys, big help :bow: :bow: :bow:
