Hi guys,

I own a 1986 944 na, i had the water pump, all the belts changed and the thermostat, head shaved and new gaskets, new valves and guides. Runs good but run very warm. I flushed the system yesterday and put 2 gallons of new antifreeze in it. I will run in the middle on the highway but on the streets, it will run on the third white line up to the bottom of the red line. If i give it some gas the temp will lower somewhat. I made sure there was no air using the bleeder. Anything i should be looking for?

 

Bleed it again. As you heat up the cooloant, more air comes out of solution.

 

Thanks, i will try that tomorrow and let you know how I made out.

 

When i bleed it, i basically keep the bleeding valve open until the coolant comes out with no air gaps, then i close it, is that pretty much it?

 

Ayuh......

 

how much air should be in the system, i bled it when it was hot and the engine not running then when running. Seems to be air in the system still. Whats the best way to bleed the system? Still runs on the line before the red, sometimes it will run in the middle of the gauge when on the highway. Fans are running when its getting warm. Any suggestions?

 

Bleed it til you get all the air out.

 

I bled over a 1/2 gallon of antifreeze out of it, still sputtered a little. What is the best/correct way to bleed it? Running, not runing, hot, cold, etc?

 

Bleed vent at ambient temperature. Raise the front wheels on a ramp or similar, then bleed the air.

 

Hi,

I bled it again, still ran hot. I "cleaned" the radiator on the outside, figured it couldnt hurt to rinse with some water, just in case it was dirty.The temps seem to be slowly getting worse, not its running between the 3rd line and the red line on the highway and the funny part is that its much cooler out, temps outside in the mid 50's. Any more suggestions, I am getting concerned since its my wifes daily driver.

Thanks

Eddie
