GTSBoy Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 It is possible that the impeller vanes in the water pump have corroded away. Would need to have spent some time with bad coolant (ie rusty water) or possibly with an electrical problem (that would drive galvanic corrosion). Otherwise it sounds like head gasket.

GTSBoy Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 You'd need to add a way to observe/quantify the water flow rate through a radiator hose. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485769-overheating-promblem/#findComment-7992483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
