that no power thing occured when i first installed the new radiator a few months ago, the car's power feels fine now. i'm thinkin that was due to a improper bleed out.

def not out the exhaust...i only see steam when the coolant is near empty and from somewhere gets sprayed out under the hood.

Valid, i will check, and see what i can see.

* being that u said that u overheated you could have a crack in the block too and not even know about it. the reason u see no coolant anywhere is cuz it could be burning off on the exhaust.

GOD forbide...i hope thas not the case...although the motor is relatively cheap, i dont have the cash for a new motor and will just have to keep coolant with me at all times, which i'm doing now.


thanks all for the suggestions.

I've got a '98 S04, It wuz over heating or so I thought, same as Ur prob blkcivic93, It turned out 2 B a faulty Fan Switch and Temp Sensor, I'd check those out B4 Looking at major things. They're fairly easy 2 change by Urself.

UPDATE:

finally attended to the problem well a week ago...

problem was the heater hose, it had a crack in it, witnessed the spraying of coolant myself after hearing a hissing spurting sound when i cut my car off. so replaced that and replaced the thermostat for good measure. had the rad. fan tested and it works.

car retains coolant now.

there are other problems to attend to but its rolling what can i say.
