Re: MY Felicia 1.3 OVERHEAT

Have you regularly drained and changed all the coolant?

If the coolant get stoo old or has too much addative in it it will start to boil all funny in the heat and then cause odd behaviour. For example too much antifreeze can cause the system to boil at an excessively low temperature.

Re: MY Felicia 1.3 OVERHEAT

Hmm have you tried the sender unit which detects the temperature and checked the guage just to make sure it isn't giving false readings?

I mean you have pretty much replaced the rest of the cooling system by the sounds of things.

Re: MY Felicia 1.3 OVERHEAT

Or that the car 'thinks' the liquid is hot.

It might be that the sender unit that is measuring temperature is telling the car that the thing is hot even when it isn't. I guess teh easiest way to determine this is to see wether the pipes are hot, but I'm affriad i'm pretty stumped if it isn't this as you have pretty much changed the whole cooling system.

Re: MY Felicia 1.3 OVERHEAT

the fan switch is sepearate from the temp sender unit.... my quess is an air lock in the heater or the block somewhere..... try running the engine from cold without the cap on the expansion tank and top up as necessary. you should get all the bubbles up to the surface like this....
