- VT v6 S pack
Hey guys,
I own a 2000 manual VT S-pack v6 that keeps driving me up the wall with a recent overheating issue, it has been a great car up until now.
The temp gauge will get to its normal temperature and then shoot up to the max for about a minute and then go back down again.
The car runs fine, my oil isn't discolored and it blows absolutely no smoke.
I've already replaced my thermostat, water pump, radiator and radiator cap. I even flushed the system. The problem went away for 3 days after replacing the radiator and then came back again.
There are no visible coolant leaks anywhere. And I've made sure to bleed the system of air every time i put coolant in it, however I may not being doing it correctly.
Is it possible my intake manifold gaskets require replacing and is there anyway to check?
I just cannot figure out what it is. Any help/ideas are appreciated.
Cheers!
