Honda civic thermostat overheating?
Honda civic sport 1,6 2005
Recently my dial starting going over 3/4 and I had it checked at a garage and he said everything was fine and couldn't find a problem. That was probably a year ago.
Today it done it again for the first time.
I'm not 100% sure were to put more water and engine coolant in.
Can someone help me out?
You need to check a few things, first do a compression test to see if your head gasket is failing. Next bypass your heater core to see if it is corroded, if so it restricting the coolant flow. You can try flushing the whole system but I would see it either of these is the real cause.
Maybe it is because of the pipes. When they need to be replaced, they tend to be poor at delivering the water to the engine. So, before you do any thing, just drive the car and stop after a while and check the pipes. If you squeeze them and they're soft, it means that they need to be replaced. If not, you should replace the thermostat because Civics NEVER heat unless its serious
You add fluid by way of the radiator. And if you don't even know what that is then you might want to go watch a YouTube video or something before pouring fluid into anything.
Have you looked out the window? We're in June and the sun is out.
- I have a 1997 Honda CRV. I just replaced the thermostat like 5 days ago. Radiators been flushed as well? All the fluids are fresh and at the proper levels. There are no visible leaks of any kind of fluids but the car still overheats usually once its been driven for about 15-20 minutes. I take the radiator cap off and the coolant is not moving through the radiator. Would this be a water pump failure or could it be something else?
- Why is my 1998 Honda civic lx still overheating? I've replaced the thermostat, water pump, timing belt, flushed the radiator and done a coolant test to check for gasses and all is good. The fan is wire up so it automatically comes on when ignition is turned on and is blowing the correct way. Do I need to try a new radiator cap or radiator? Engine light is on but it's for a 02 sensor. Any help is appreciated.
- I'm driving a 96 honda civic and my car has been shaking and overheating? I have check for leaks and everything is fine but i do have a rusted spark plug, i'm wondering if that may be the cause of shaking and excessive overheating to the point i'm driving with the heater on all the time. Can anyone let me know if the spark plug is the problem and if i replace this one rusted plug will the car drive back normally?
- My 2001 Honda Civic is overheating and I can't figure out why? I have replaced the radiator cap, coolant reservoir, and thermostat. Also, I check the fans at various times and everytime they are running fine. Lastly, I'm not sure if this information helps, but I live in southern Louisiana where it is almost always hot. I'm a poor 25 year old female college student and I have no idea what else to do.
