Replaced radiator problem....
Hi,
I have a 97 Honda Accord Sedan. Once the radiator failed when i was on the highway and got heated up, i drove 2 miles with the same problem and replaced with new radiator, thermostat and everything was fine for couple of days after that when i drive my vechile more than 5 miles it automatically gets heated up and the temp guage goes up. I asked the mechanic who replaced the radiator and he said everything was fine and but the problem persists. I can't even ON my Air conditioner in the summer coz It gets heated up as soon as I switch ON the AC. Can you please help me out in this issue. I am struggling with the heat and no mechanic is able to tell the exact problem. Thanks Amar |

Replaced radiator problem....
ON my accord i had a similar problem the cause was that I put some
special additive in the radiator hoping to extent the new radiators life. Somehow the additive which was supposed to lubricate / anti corrosion caused the car to continually overheat after a 20 minute ride. I replaced everything and eventually figured it out. Cause #2 for you could be upper radiator hose collapsing internally. Take off upper radiator hose and inspect inside. Also see if hose collapses while idling most likely you have air in system once you rule out air the above tips may save lots of manhours latter Ray On Jun 8, 5:17 pm, wrote: > Hi, > > I have a 97 Honda Accord Sedan.
