I think I have an overheating problem.. Looking at gauges it looks fine, but it heats up pretty fast (about half way+) and EZlube pointed out that my coolant had rust.
When checking the levels of coolant, it looks like it's completely dry. Might have to add distilled water, as I don't know what it's supposed to look like. On the fan though. Should it run if it's completely cold? Or does it only turn on once the engine is warm? Thanks |

I always add water straight to the radiator.
The fan will run more when it's hot out and you're going slow or stopped, especially if your A/C is running. Sounds like you need to drain and flush your radiator if there's rusty crap inside it. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
