If the standard looking exterior is putting you off... just imagine sat at a set of lights and a supercar pulling up alongside l...

Yes, Car was slightly elevated at the rear, but we used a vacuum system, so should be no more air blockages.

Re: Coolant overheating (keteling)

Invested in a vacuum kit to see if i can sort this problem out. It appears that it has made a massive difference and on a reasonably spirited drive it was running between temps of 91 to 96 degrees ECT. When it idled it climbed to 99, but didn'tgo any higher... so a darn sight better than climbing we...

Re: Coolant overheating (keteling)

Mine did exactly the same, but i'd only done a 10 minute spirited drive and was datalogging it on the Laptop and it was showing temps of 135, which is extremely high imo.
The car even stalled the engine when i hit those temps, but fired back up again.

Re: Coolant overheating (keteling)

I've just invested in a bleeding kit, as i'm convinced its an air blockage in the coolant system restricting flow.
