Hi guys, I was wondering, what happens when the thermostat does not open. I know that the engine will overheat, but would the coolant rise in the reserve tank? I am experiencing overheating, rising water in there reserve but no coolant loss or gas in the system. I don't want to change the radiator if the thermostat is the culprit. Although the hoses are hot in the front too, which may happen either way. Now I need someone who knows all these. Any of you? I love this list. Zoltan |
