Sorry to repost in a new thread but i think i have a different issue at work here which warranted a new title.
hey guys i replaced my expansion tank on sunday and got rid of my wanky brass radiator bleeder plug and put back in a stock plastic one. I bled the system and refilled the coolant. I drive it out on a road trip up the coast of CA to pt. reyes drove it up and down the steep hilly northern california terrain with my wife in the passenger seat and the AC going the whole time. I had no problems. the heat guage sat right where it should the whole time.
today coming back from an interview my rover started overheating bad on the way home. i live in the oakland hills so there is about a 3 mile steep climb up hill back to my house. it was all the way to the red by the time i noticed it. DAMN!!
what the hell is causing it to overheat now? what;s the next thing for me to check? there are no coolant leaks anywhere. after the rover cooled down i checked the expansion tank and it was full to the fill line, right where it should be.
Whats the next move for me to make? what is the likely culprit? what is the process i take to track down my issue?
any help will be appreciated.
