I had a poor 300 k journey last night. Added bars leak to stop
a small leak in heater box 10 days ago -- drove 100 k at 120+
stopped for a bite--noticed car seemed v hot and that cooling fan
failed to automatically come on.
Next section of road is 60 k of uphill and stopped on side of the road
at night to allow the car to cool off as the guage had gone into
the red, first time ever. 45 minutes later was able to get up the rest of the hill at 30-40 kph (no fun with A-B train Semi-s behind, passing)
Anyhow car ran upto the red at 50-60 kph, then we stopped check for water in the overflow, carefully, there was but the bars leak had
made the fluid look muddy. The fan worked this time. Got to destination +200 k away over mountain passes at 40-60 kph eventually.
One closed gas station - no cell phone coverage. Car heater on full the whole way, at 60-80kph on the flat,
with the needle just under the red
V glad it was a cool night 60F not 100F as it can easily be. V glad my hoses were replaced recently V glad I change my Oil often.
So to do Flush Rad. & ?
Replace thermostat? See if the fan comes on when hot.?
Suggestions? Bar leak humbug TIA
