Not really sure what this can be. No signs of a leak.
I have 2 videos. Quality is just plain bad but it shows what i need to show. One shows when it warms up. It is under C and then in a couple of seconds it goes up to norm operating temp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq9B5FR-VGg Second one shows when its at norm operating temp and then goes up slowly. Only seems to heat up at idle. As soon as the temperature goes up i accelerate and then the temperature suddenly goes back to normal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paE0S3BwTlg Not sure if this might be a sensor problem. I have never really encountered this kind of problem where the temperature would change so fast. Any ideas what it can be? |

Topped off the coolant (ALMOST A WHOLE GALON) and did that process to take out the air. Though much air did not come out as i didnt have to add a lot of coolant once i turned on the heater.
Seems to have solved the problem. I guess i must have a leak somewhere since i knew i topped it off when i purchased the car about a month and a half ago. One thing i did notice. The fan next to the battery turned on as soon as i turned on the ignition and stayed on the whole time. While the other fan never turned on. When is that fan suppose to turn on? |
