The Renault still overheats I am well puzzled?? Please bear with this long post
1/ If I start up the R4 and let it just run in the garage it runs up to temperature and the fan comes on and off. You can leave it for a couple of hours - no problems.
2/ Whem driven the red light comes on within a mile, and is bubbling water from the radiator cap and the expansion bottle!!!
3/ I live on a steep hill it produces the same results from starting from cold and reversing up the hill say 20 feet!!!The water is still cold!! and is bubbling like point 2!!
4/The water system seems to take on a massive amount of air, but only when driven and under load, if I bleed it and don't drive it it never overheats
Any ideas wecome...car has had the following work to cure the problem in no particular order.....and in fact having now done all this ITS WORSE than ever could drive 5 - 10 miles now only 1/2!!!
NEW RADIATOR
NEW HOSES
NEW THERMOSTAT
NEW WATERPUMP
NEW HEAD GASKET AND CYLINDER HEAD
help me please
