hey guys today on my home from uni, my water temp on my Apexi pfc reached as high as 105, however didnt go much higher then that. the needle also stayed at half way. also seemed to have lost a bit of water in my radiator. inside d radiator was not milky, and car was not low on oil. any idea what it could be??? a mechanic told me he thinks it might be my radiator fan being a bit worn out. any1 got any ideas? is der a need to worry? or could it be due to the high temperature today?

could be due to high temps, or faulty temps

105 is just at the begining of the red section on the std guage.. but they are very innacurate

did it cool down as you were moving?

could be :

clogged radiator

faulty thermostat

faulty temp sensors

headgasket (worst case)

yeh think ill change d thermostat and sensor and flush d radiator to be on the safe side. though if it was a head gasket wouldnt the water in d radiator have been milky?? or wouldnt it have keep goin up very quikly to the top rather then stabalising and even goin down a bit while driving???

depends on how bad the leak is, i had a small leak in mine a while back..

slight bubbles... drove around fine, just a little up on temp... could only tell that it had a leak cos we Co2 tested the radiator..

more than likely it would be just a blocked radiator

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
