Overheatin help!!
hey my vx commodore is overheating. it comes up hot hot hot. when i turn the car off it sounds like the fan is still going. i have to disconnect the lead of the battery before it turns off. wat the hell is going on??
The fans stay on till the temp drops below around 90degrees
Checked the basics like if its full of coolant?
what colour is the coolant and is it full etc. radiator could be blocked
Overheating issues are usually easy to fix ..well easier than a transmission overhaul anyway.
Thermostat could be faulty ..radiator blocked partly blocked and may require flushing or overhaul ..insufficient coolant, leaking hoses ..hopefully no blown head gaskets which can be indicated if coolant disappears with no obvious leaking .Check exhaust for steam or oil for water{moisture is normal when engine first starts}
Your fan will come on regardless of the engine running or not so be careful. Do not removed radiator cap when engine is hot ..very dangerous. Sqeeze upper hose ..if hard do not remove cap as system still under pressure.
