mitch184 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 my turbowagon has ran with 4 bars on temp for a year straight. Never got more than 5 at anytime. Now whenever i turn on the heater or fan, the bar goes up to 5 and sometimes 6. when i turn the heater off, it slowly drops back down to 4 but sometimes it doesn't. When i first drive it around in the mornings i hear this bubbling/cavitating noise coming from the motor when i rev it up. Then today with the heat off, It got up to 5 bars on the freeway driving normal. (a first). I just flushed the system about a month ago. I tried to burp it the best i can but am not sure if i did it right. Anyone else ever had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudisFun Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I got the same noise. After all that work that I did something still wasn't right.

mitch184 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 I just wanted to add that I did use CRC Copper Weld block sealer a couple months ago because i did find the white/yellow creamy stuff on top of the oil cap. I was wondering if the copper weld might have clogged things up. I did follow the instructions very carefully and didn't use too much. The radiator was very low and i'm pretty sure the cap is shot because since last time i added coolant, the overflow tank filled up, but never emptied back into the radiator. I filled the radiator back up full and drove on the freeway. It still got up to 5 bars, then when i turned on the heater, it jumped up 2 bars at one time. Then when i shut it off, it dropped back down 2 bars after a couple seconds. I'm real confused with this situation. I'm going to get a new cap to see if that helps.

Ross Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Is your water pump old? Maybe the impellor has erroded excessively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
