Hi guys. Recently got an wh stato haven't had it for long and have been stitched up with overheating issues. Originally had a leaking heater tap (due to rotted out feed hose end) have since replaced and clean out the hoses. Still the car overheats, basically you take it for a spin for 20mins, whilst out you give it a poke with a stick basically. And come back home let it idle, or even just low speeds and the temp will just keep climbing till it starts to cook. Iam not loosing coolant, the thermo fans are working, have removed the thermostat entirely, flushed the system and have replaced the radiator cap, all seems to be ok, accept it still overheats.
I have not pressure tested the system, and by the looks off it, the car has already had the water pump and radiator replaced although not by me but they look new. The return hose to the coolant bottle is circulating coolant so it would seem the pump is working and the radiator is undamaged and not clogged as coolant did flush threw.
Any ideas to help nutt this issue out? Next step will have to be pressure test but other that im kind off at my witts end.
Kind regards.
