Now there is a grille block? Why would you restrict the airlfow to the cooling system on a car that is overheating.
I was adamant about getting the system properly bled. Now I read about "microbubbles" coming out of the bleeder and the car "pushing coolant" into the recovery bottle.
Fact is the system could NOT be properly bled. Why would you not be able to bleed they system properly, meaning nothing but coolant coming out of the bleeder.
Fact is when you can not bleed a system where no air is left in the system, it means air is getting into the system that is not supposed to be there.
Where does that air come from?
Obviously the atmosphere, but how does it get into the coolaing system which is sealed from the atmosphere?
That air did not magically appear in the cooling system, it absolutely had to get there from another place.
You replaced the radiator and you even went to the additional effort to prove it was not flowing properly. PERFECT. You know you needed that part, absolutely no question. Then the damn thing still overheats. OK remove the stat, runs much cooler OK, but only down to 180 and it still overheats when you climb a sustained grade after a longer drive.
