Also, the engine is remaining cold for some reason. Just another piece of info for the equation

Re: RADO IS BLOWING UP! PLZ HELP!
it was the gauge...due to coolant leak... found and fixed. everything is now fixed except for oil leak. its very small as I am not losing a noticeable amount of oil however *from a novice's perspective* it appears to be dripping on the header which makes for a nice plume of smoke.vrtpassat wrote:is this what the gage is telling you or have you felt the engine it might be for this problem a bad sending unit gage is messed up or broke wire unless you have a fail safe termast in wich when they fail they fail in the open position as to not over heat the engineDrewG60 wrote:Also, the engine is remaining cold for some reason.
