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 |

Thanks!
Well aware, but I'm selling the car in a couple of days anyway =) How do I check the radiator coolant level? (middle one - not overflow) |
