hmm sound like a lot of issue um if you think it the water pump to the left of the thermostat there a hole it called a weep hole check to see if there any sign of coolant coming out of there is a small hole that will tell you if your water pump is junk.
The fan should kick on when the engine reach 175 degree F, I know this sound like a funny question but did you use mix the coolant 50/50 that is 50% water and 50 % coolant. Fan 2 I believe is for the a/c and fan one is your rad fan. Well your not going to see the coolant move around. Also check to see if the anything is block the a/c condensor. When does it overheat in the driveway? while your driven down the road? |
