Promxy94:That means they also connected the fans direct? When you start the engine in the morning how long does it take to over heat without driving it? 1. While the engine is running, and the cooling fans on, touch the upper and lower radiator hose. The upper radiator hose should be hotter than the lower one. If there is no much noticeable difference in temperature, your cooling fans is not working efficiently or your radiator has been clogged up with dirt or a restriction inside. |

Try ceramic paint. I 've had mine coated with ceramic from https://ceramicprotection.com.au/ and it's totally worth it. Ceramic coating is a good sealant. If you have the extra funds for it, go to a shop, the paint will last longer than 5 years based on my experience. Screen reader support enabled. |
