Rb25 Heating ?

[bazz]

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
