VX Heating Problem

[Mitchyvx]

hey everyone ,

I have a 2002 holden vx exectutive ,

my problem is that the car runs extremely hot , and when I say I mean my thermo fans are on constantly and are also on for a long period of time , and are really noisy ,
I replaced my radiator due to a leak about 8 months ago and since then its ran hotter ,

my second problem is that I will be driving along and my temp gauge will rise to the H and start beeping and displaying hot on the dash and then go away and slowly go back down , but then it will go back up , engine and radiator hoses are warm but main hose is extremely hot ,

wondering if anyone had any clue as to why its running so hot and also a fix to my overheating problem ,

90I am on my red p's and plan on keeping this car till I get my fulls , car is currently on 240,000kms roughly with 90% original parts

Only a suggestion but try changing your thermostat for a lower opening temp one.

What condition is the water pump in? Did you bleed the system properly?

could be thermostat, or did you replace the radiator cap with a new one?

i needed a new cap when mine was overheating.
