    Angry Vy 03 radiator heating problem.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi All,,

    I have VY 2003, since two weeks im messed with radiator, the pressure on hose pipes seem reaches extreme due to heat if car is idle, twice the radiator got leaked and some time the pipe comes out from radiator due to high pressure. iv changed everything, pipes, thermostat,both fan relays, heat sensor,water pump, coolant but still the problem is same. both fans start at once after long time. i would like to add that when i start AC both fans start working immediately.

    well the temp gauge inside car stays at middle and shows no sign of overheat.
    please if any body can help me. im so frustrated because i spent alot but still the problem is same.

    :-(

    I would take your car to a competent mechanic that will properly diagnose the problem for you. Just changing everything on the cooling system in the hope you stumble on the cause of the problem -without knowing what it is - is not the way to go.

    Without inspecting and testing your car I doubt anyone here can tell you the cause of the problem. They will only be guessing. Don't delay as you don't want to blow a head gasket, crack the heads on the motor or cause other damage your engine from overheating.

    We can all have a "guess" at what the cause is but that's not very helpful to you.
