So my car overheated one day when I was ripping on it. I replaced the thermostat and it still overheated. Then I replaced the thermo again to be safe, water pump, and temperature sending unit that goes to the gauge. It still over heats. The pump is pumping and everything is circulating. I have also bled the air as well. One thing I can't figure out though is that I can drive in a straight line for ever, but as soon and I turn left, and only left, my gauge goes straight to the top. I can make a hard ralph and it won't over heat, as soon as i take a leroy it "says" its overheating.Any tips?

Radiators decline from year one and are usually done by year 7-10.Dirt builds up between condenser and rad blocking air flow, oxidation and bent fins block air flow and heat transfer, fans and especially electric fan degrade with age running slower and slower.

A 16 year old car can be restore to as new performance as long as you replace worn out parts with brand new.
