vit getting hot, radiator cap?
vit getting hot, radiator cap?
after a 3hr trip on the highway with a matress on the roof lol my vitara was sitting on halfway to 3/4, normally wont g over 1/3 ever. almost hit the red on a few big hills but thought okay due to the matress.
turns out it lost about 1 litre of coolant out of the radiator but the overflow was full still.
then same on the return trip with no matress, at 100-120km/hr it was fine, just low rev city traffic got it up round the 3/4 mark, high reves and low speed it was fine. this all leads me to believe the fan, radiator and pump are fine.
just the water still in the over flow but missing out of the radiator seems like the radiator cap, huh? if it was a leaking hose it would still suck water back into the radiator right?

take your radiator to a reputable place to have them remove a tank so they can poke the core out, only then will you be happy its cleaned properly. after time they buid up a whit powdery substance that the coolant washes away from the walls of the engine.
