Over heating think possible radiator prob

Post by Mx3Baker »

So i thought i may have cracked my head gasket but now i dont think so every once in a while the car starts to over heat fast but there was plenty of anti freeze in the overflow jug would my radiator be getting clogged up?

Sounds like a clogged radiator. An easy way to tell is to get a flush n' fill. Not a drain and fill... Make sure to ask if they do a pressurized "Flush". If not that then replace the thermostat first. It is easiest and cheapest. Drive around your house only until you get it figured out. Read my post above that you also posted in about radiator problems.
