Cooling Problems Gawddammit

r32 gts-t, thermostat housing and hose to rad are stayin cold and it seems the thermostat isnt openin,

car hasnt been runnin for about 3 months but flushed the whole system and replaced thermostat but hose still stayin cold.

could it be a water pump problem or is there an air bleed of some sort near the thermostat housing?

u need the open the bleed bolt on the intake manifold....

how long do u run it for when ur testing? becoz itl take a good 10mins to heat up to operating temp if its sitting there, maybe 5 mins under road conditions.

alright il have a look for the bleed bolt,

but yeh been runnin for a good 10 to 15 mins each time, just not openin and the temp sensor is readin off the top rad hose so doesnt show the temp inside the head

If the engine is basically idling, then it isn't doing any work. And if it isn't doing any work, it won't produce any heat.

If you can, you need to take it for a drive for about 10 minutes to bring the engine up to operating temperature.

i agree. it takes ages for an engine to come up to temp just by idling. if the car isn't registered then just do laps in and out of the garage. it will still take a while to warm up, but quicker than just idling

Stop the fan. Itl warm up alot faster that way.
