car overheating

**darkfox1009** · 06-19-2011

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I've been working on my car. Anyways lol I need your advice once again. *insert meme* My car has been over heating recently. Not too much, but it goes up a couple lines over 210, (the half mark...just in case that wasn't clear lol) and I know that can't be good

I replaced the Thermostat with a 180 degree one, and the hose off of it. There is no water leaks or anything. Also I fill everything up with 50% Coolant and 50% water "Dex-Cool" coolant like it asks and it says "Low Coolant" on my lights. I have no idea what is going on. Please help!!

Thanks guys o/

did ya bleed the air out?

yes sir, but only before I replaced the thermo. Do I need to do it again?

yes you do, you took the thermo out and added air to the system, you need to bleed it again.

half line is normal.

thats where the high fans are set to come on with stock fan settings.

oh ok I'll try bleeding it, and then see how that does. I also figured 1/2 was normal, but it went like to the 2/3 mark and seemed like it was getting hotter. Also, something else that I noticed when I was going up hill at around 70 MPH on a freeway, is that white smoke came out of the back. Kinda freaked me out. It stopped after like 20 seconds, but I thought I put too much strain on the engine, and I did something. Hopefully nothing serious. Thanks guys!
