Default Re: Overheating Problems

Hello CHRS,


I had the same problem by fast running. I solved that by inserting a slightly thicker gasket under the quail lid. Then the closure sits tighter.

That the temperature rises after switching off the hot engine is normal. The hot engine block heats the water a little longer up and it goes on the top of the radiator.

Radiator-antifreeze hampers a bit the heat emission. When it is very hot weather, it is advantageous to reduce the amount of antifreeze to 20%.
