Volvo 240 (1990) running hot - flushed coolant, but???
My 1990 Volvo 240 wagon runs a little hot when in traffic on a hot day.
It doesn't overheat, but it still makes me nervous. I flushed the coolant, and it still does it. I also cleaned the contacts on the temp. compensation board and installed a new thermostat. The heater seems OK. When i turn off the heat, it stay on for a while while I am trying to get cold air out. It is kind of a strange cooling system on this car, there is no radiator cap, and no drain plug either - you just take the lower radiator hose off and watch coolant go everywhere except in the container it is supposed to. My last vehicle was a toyota truck from the 80s and it did the same thing when I got it, but flushing it out worked perfectly, because there was a bunch of gunk in there. The volvo coolant seemed clean..... Do I just need to re-flush that shizzle, or??? I have never had this happen on any of my cars where it would not go away. |
