VY s2 Spac 3.8 n/a
I have a vy v6 and it has all of a sudden started overheating, will jump from operating temp up to almost red then all of a sudden no more than 30 secs later drop back down to operating temp.
Top hose is hot, bottom warm.
Coolant on the battery tray after overheating.
No milky oil
Not much coolant in the overflow (have a feeling its from leaking haha)
Coolant full all the way to the top of the radiator cap in the radiator.
Just after some ideas, Thanks
Btw called a radiator place and they immediately pointed at a new radiator before even checking the thermostat ect

Sounds like the system needs to be bled.

Radiator, maybe? But what led them to jump straight the radiator?
