So today was the first day my cars temperature went passed half way and almost at the H marker.

Should i be worried?

Cause its sitting in the garage now making gurgling sounds n shit and ive never had a car that heated up that much.

Yes you should be worried. Stock gauge only hits H when something is very wrong. Check your cooling system.

there has been a bit of this going on for a while already. parts suppliers get ready to close doors, car manufacturers cant complete cars without specific part(s), so they throw enough money at it (making a loss) to keep the production line running until they find a new source for the same/similar parts.

Some of the decline of the Aus car market i think is still due to the slow and pain death of the manufacturing industry, not entirely on price and market domination

Dat awkward feel when your job is in manufacturing industry :/

I'm going to say that your radiator is gone

Same thing has happened to me.

Careful Steve, Tony's car is now a write off... Learn from his mistakes before it's too late. Check your coolant and make sure that you've got pressure... Could still be something simple like your radiator cap not holding enough pressure.

Lol don't scare him

My car was a write off for different reasons :P

have you checked your coolant?

Im going to guess that you need to top up the coolant in your radiator

It never hit the H, it went to the notch before when i was stopped. Mate told me to check my water pump =\

remove drain plug and turn car on.... if water is pumped out (as opposed to drained by gravity) your water pump should be fine

you'd be surprised how much of an effect a busted rad cap can have.

Car had a minor done last week. It was when the car stopped on the freeway ( trafic ) the heat would rise, but once i started rolling (60 km/h+) the needle would drop. the part that concerned me the most was when i got it home and shut it down the water bubbling sounds it was making.

Suits best show ever waiting or season 3 bad season 2 was epic makes me wanna be a lawyer every chck is smokin! That and they seemingly do no work and make millions.

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
