the condensor that is infront of your radiator might be blocked and not letting enough air through to cool the radiator

ancillary fan working?

[anthony1020]

thermo fan in the front is working thinking of getting bigger fan or twins ?

These symptoms are normally associated with either a blockage in the fins of the condensor or radiator OR the airflow is low (bad fan airflow).

Check the fins first (blow out with air rather than flush them with water as this can expand the grass seeds if in the fins). Then make sure that the electric fan is blowing the right way.

If all of this is OK check the style of the condensor (if it has metal straps on either side is is a serpintine condensor and my need upgrading to a parrallel flow unit. (parrallel units have a pipe at either end)

If this still fails check that the heater tap is turning off and not causing excessive heat in the A/C system.

Failing all of the above the Compressor may be worn and might be causing an excessive amount of heat for the cooling system to handle get it checked by a GOOD A/C Tech.
