I've been through sooo many coolant nightmares with my 96.. Started with a leaking thermostat which airlocked my system.. Removing the thermostat was the first nightmare since one of the bolts sheared off requiring an ez out (this issue is quite typical unfortunetly) Also replaced the waterpump, belts, and fan switch (my fan now turns on at a tick over half on temps) while we were at it.. I then drove the car for a month while noticing coolant loss (about a cup a week) yet my system pressure tested fine. After a month and a half a hairline crack in my radiator opened up. What sucks is my radiator was less then a year old (Behr brand as well). So essentially what I'm saying is just because it's new doesn't mean that it's working. Start with your thermostat and be sure to watch your coolant levels.. Coolant problems take time and can be frustrating.. Good Luck.. |
