Overheating Problem

[Xoltol]

Well My oh so lovely 240 Just loves to overheat ~_~

It goes like this: Driving along... look at temp It's Past the Hot marker... 3 minutes later.. it's back to the middle... then later again back over the line...

I put Coolant in there.. it maybe helped for about 20 minutes... then back to the old problems... Also noticed that when i open the Coolant box thing... It's like a murky brown liquid... any idea what to do?

Flush your system, maybe replace the thermostat, my car likes to get a little warmer (not overheat warm though) and I just replaced it with the nismo thermo and it works great now. runs a little cooler honestly.

So it probably is a head gasket problem... I know head gaskets are relatively cheap.. i'm seeing em for 30 bucks.. Does anyone have a guide to replacing them? if so it would REALLY help.

use search button for the HG procedure. Pull your dipstick and see if the oil is milky as well. If you need more confirmation. Go to advance and buy a HG test kit for the cooling system. Relatively cheap.

if it is your headghasket...get a nice cometic or sumpin...upgrade from that crappy oem one at least..should run ya about$100. bucks.
