hey ya'll, i'm not sure if someone already posted this, i couldn;t find it, so i started a new one. i own a 87 n/a and i'm having overheating problems. i'll run my car for a while, and then i will see that my temp gauge is almost in the red. i have already put in a fail safe thermostat, and put in new coolant. the guys at autozone checked my clutch fan, and he said it was fine, and midas said that my headgasket is fine. i really need help cause it really getting me mad. thanx alot fellas!

put like 6 bottles of water wetter and the rest coolant and water. Hopefully, that solves the overheating...

ok this might be stupid, but where can i get water wetter at? and how much is it usually?

Auto Zone or Advance Auto...I'd be trying to find the problem not put a band-aid on it though. Are you losing any coolant?

yeah, putting water wetter in there will make the problem WORSE. don't do that...

you probably have a pinhole leak in a coolant hose. get the system pressure tested, and look very, very closely. even a pinhole will cause overheating because it lets air in the system, thus causing the coolant to boil.

honestly, do NOT put water wetter in there. it's meant for very, very healthy cooling systems ONLY.

You could always crack an egg into your radiator.

I had an over heating problem not that long ago and what I did was go through all of my coolant lines/hoses and squeeze 'em. Didn't take very long cause the second one I squeezed, the upper radiator hose, shot a stream of coolant out of a very VERY small hole near the cam gears. I'd try that. Each one you squeeze should be very firm. If its not, check that one VERY throughly.

Good luck!

My money is on a heater hose...
