put some radiator fluid in for now as you might be low.
blast the heater constantly as that turns on your heater fan and pushes heat from the engine bay into your cabin.
Remove your front grill for more airflow into the engine?
Get a coolant flush? It's seriously a white knob and a removal of a radiator cap away from being drained and filled.Last edited by ikayto; 12-02-2008, 06:49 PM.

even though it is more work that just flushing the radiator but i would just remove the thermostat, replace the seal bolt back up the thermostat housing and fill whatever fluid was lost with water, that plus keeping your heater on with your windows down will keep it under hot

If you cheap out now you will be spending much more when you do more damage. Do the fans kick on... Did you test the thermostat?Originally posted by J3wman View Post

Change T-stat and flush it really good. Could throw and additive in it to if you wanted. In the meanwhile turn the heat only and cruise with the windows down, also the removing grill sounds like a good idea too.
