Message: <blockquote data-quote="nic_83" data-source="post: 1063570497" data-attributes="member: 116992">I am also facing a similar problem. This evening, I stopped to get a drink. When I came back to the car, I could feel the heat. I turned the key and saw that the temperature meter passed the H. Quickly turned the car off. Luckily a man there was kind to help me. Let the engine cool down. Opened the radiator cap and found it so dry. Filled about 3 big bottles of water. Left the radiator cap open and started the car. Water from the radiator was splashing out. Quickly turned off the engine again. We waited for it to cool down a little while. Filled up more water and started again, same thing happened. Waited again and started again but this time with radiator cap on. Temperature was fine. Let the engine run for a while and I saw that the temperature was normal. I decided to drive back. Temperature was fine with my air cond on driving at normal speed for quite a distance. Almost reaching home, the temperature shot up again when i stopped at the traffic light. Continued driving but it got worse and I really had to stop. Let the engine cool down again and started driving again as I was not far from home. Not even 500 metres, the temperature went pass the H. Stopped again. Let it cool down. Filled more water. Temperature was ok till i reached home. My father checked for me then. Let the engine run, temperature wont go up. After a while, it was still ok. Then, filled up water till the engine was really cold. He went for a drive slowly without the air cond. Then drove very fast without the aircond. Next drove slowly with air cond. Stopped at a few traffic lights and still the temperature was normal. He came back home. Let the engine run again without the air cond. The temperature shot up again after about 5 minutes. Earlier he was driving around for 20 minutes without problems. Quickly turned the engine off and went back in. He called our mechanic. Explained that there could be 3 causes. The first is leaking hoses. The second is radiator may be "sumbat". The third and most scary thing is the head is gone. He said need to remove the head, skim something and put new gaskets for the head which will cost a lot. I have said everything in detail here. I hope someone could give us an idea what could be the cause. Thanks.</blockquote>
