- Vs Olympic edition v6 ute
Hi all.... vs v6 Olympic edition ute over heats under load.
It first started very infrequently, car would run as it should and then, only sometimes, if I turned off the engine and then soon after started it again it would suddenly spike temp very high and sometimes would all of a sudden drop back down. Or if I turned off the engine and started again it would just run as normal.
I checked and changed everything, everything..... to my surprise when I finally got to the water pump, I found it had no blades left all corroded..... but the cat still ran normally temp sat where it should almost all of the time until this infrequent spike that would go away ad quick as it came.
Now the car seems to run fine if I am driving it like I stole it..... but if left to idle for a while will get a little hot. But if I have a load in the back like a tonne or if I'm towing a trailer WITH a load on it.... then the car just gets hot.
When I check, everything seems to work maybe when ac isn't on the fan turns on a little later then I think it should.... but ac on will make no difference, still just gets hot under load.
Any thoughts
