What Water Temp Do You Have

thanks heaps mate i have been doing that so hopefully it does bleed its self

also my temp is still sitting around 90degrees i was hoping that was because of an air pocket but if it does bleed the air and my temp is still the same yoiu reckon its worth geting it pressure flushed i have not had one done before and dont really no what is involed...

replacing the radiator from a old 20year old one with a bigger and brand new one will help heaps,

there are 2 other possible causes of a slightly higher temp.

1: thermostat is buggered. usually diagnosable by the car taking longer to warm up than it should

2: water pump is old and worn. when it's worn it doesn't pump as much water as it should. if the car hasn't had it's 100,000kms service then i would get it done. never trust the odometer reading on imports. i'd say that 90% of them aren't the actual kms the engine has done.

there is 1 other possible cause of higher engine temps but it is a bit more serious than those 2 so i left it off that list. the other possibility is a blown headgasket. i'd start with the above 2 first.

nah mate replaced the thermostat when i did the rad the car is due for its 100k service and is getting the water pump done at the same time ..

the car has no oil in the water or vice versa blows no smoke at all and does not burn oil so i dont think it the head gasket thanks heaps but
