Overheating

Recommended Posts

scumbag

My car has been running hotter than usual over the last few days, coinciding with the water appearing inside the car. I am presuming it is all linked, maybe down to when I didnt bleed the system when topping up after removing rad, and poss that pressure built up causing leaks and the little water to boil off.

 

Using the following ebay image merely as an example as I cant find any other pics >

My car always used to run on the first Fat line pretty much all the time.

 

Two days ago, started getting upto about the second fat line.

 

After draining the rad and re-filling with bleed screws open and going for a quick 5 mile drive, the temp is sticking between first fat and second thin line. only gets to second thin line if sat waiting in traffic.

 

It this roughly where it should be?? cheers

sounds about normal to me, keep an eye on that leak inside though. Could be the heater matrix.
