drove the car around for a while today and...

elaborate...

 

what if you hardwire your rad fan to a switch, and turn it on after a km or two? I think that could work if the coolant is always circulating, but if it dosnt, maybe time for a new stat. just a thought for a temp solution

 

I know that sound very well. My old celica sounded the same when I drove it. I thought maybe there was some air somewhere in the cooling system. Neway, I never fixed it and sold the car like that. I never had any problems with it though, just dind't sound so great.

 

how do u hardwire the fan to a switch? i have a friend whose car's fan wont turn on.

 

Mine makes a running water sound under the dash when you start it up and first rev it. lol

 

look at the fan, there should be two wires running off of it somewhere, one will be ground and the other will be power. splice into the wires, attaching the ground to ground somewhere on the car, and run a power wire to the battery with a switch in between. you can put the switch anywhere you want, but I would recommend somewhere in the cabin.

 

or run it to an accessory wire so u dont have to flip a switch

 

oh after reading this again thinking it was a new thread i was gonna say air in the system, i guess i was kinda right if u had a leak

 

get your chemistry shit out of here

i guess that means im made of ice

 

Sounds like we need petrocloride to fix your anxiousness

 

meh. oxygen isn't air...it's in air. air is mostly nitrogen. besides, to be classified in such manner, wouldn't it have to be in a gaseous state? therefore water still doesn't count, even if we're considering oxygen air...unless it is vaporizing...in which case you usually see it coming from under the hood...and then it is escaping the system, not in it


see, now i'm the loser

 

but both liquids and gasses are fluids.

 

and a fish in time, saves nine.
