Overheating problem...

[blake110491]

Car has been running fine till the past week and its been running pretty hot and fan randomly stopped working so idk if it could be an electrical problem too...Today it maxed out on temp and started smoking,both radiator hoses are hot as hell and doesn't seem like the thermostat is sticking please help me with my KA

When was the last time you replaced your Radiator Fluid? I know the KA radiator can hold air pockets if not properly burped. Either that or bad pump

i would just check everything and insure yourself everything is in tip top shape.. if necessary just replace it.. maintaining your cooling system aint very expensive...

I agree with him and by far less expensive then replacing your head gasket

Its burped correctly and maybe pump or thermostat...It overheats in ten min and is way steamy under the hood

dont forget all hoses

10 minutes... I had that happen when my radiator fluid got really low... (then later on because of an air pocket) if its not the fluid then my next guess would be the pump.. those are the only two things I could think of off the top that would lead to the engine overheating that bad.

Hoses are good, nothing leaking or low but changin the thermostat tomorrow since thats cheap and a five min fix...Really don't wanna buy a pump

[millerlight763]

rockauto.com has pumps at decent prices. I personally like the Nissan Parts if your sticking to OEM but rockauto has good customer service and never had issues in the past.

seriously man, with that attitude the problem wont get fixed. your better off spending a little amount of money now than a huge amount when the car really gives out only cuz you didnt fix the problem from the beginning. trust me i learned the hard way.

if your steaming under the hood then u got a leak somewhere, check your heater core/hoses....water pump is easy to take off and inspect.
