Like this hot:firedevil:flame:, well almost.
I have a 1990 XJ, Renix 4.0, AX15, 192,000 miles. Starting last week, it pretty much decided it likes to boil the coolant out of the "pressure" bottle.
Less than 500 miles ago, I replaced the water pump because the bearing in it was defenitly shot. This past weekend I replaced the thermostat (195*), and the thermostat housing with a new '95 housing so I could burp the air out of the system a little. At the same time we flushed the radiator.
It still boils the coolant. Does anyone else's do/ done this? I am going to wire my e-fan to a switch so I can turn it on as a bandaid until I find out what the real issue it.
If I buy a new radiator, would it be worth it to get a new one for the Renix cooling system, or go ahead and convert over to the HO version? (I know one is open and the other closed, I just forget which right now)
Thanks.
