I would say that youve got an air bubble or bubbles in it i would let bike get warm and then pop the cap -fluid will come out so be carefull. dont shut off your bike let it run with cap off and fill it up you should see the water flowing also squeeze the bottom hose alittle to help kick up the air becarefull becouse it will be hot so where gloves this should get the air lock out hope this helps good luck

Cannot diagnose or run temp. Sealer for what i believe is head blown because car wont start it cranks but sputters and kills battery?

Sounds like head gasket again, but may be more serious this time. Overheating is not something to take lightly.

Pull plugs. crank. Water come out of cylinders? Head gasket. Possible cracked block or head this time, too. I'd be looking at a replacement engine.

Overheating grande vitara 2008

I shouldn't be blocked because it is pretty new. The systems are usually good for 10 yrs or so before they start getting gunked up. I would think it is either the electric fan or the fan clutch (whichever you have) could be out and it isn't cooling the engine. Also, you could have air in the system which could cause the rest of the coolant to not circulate. Check for an air bleeder valve near the top of the engine, usually near the thermostat housing.

Chevy monte carlo 3.4l replaced thermostat and water pump, thought i bled it right but ran good for two days now running hot again, no heat coming out of blowers, right after i fixed it heater worked good,...

Was the water pump leaking? did you overheat the engine? you may have head gasket issues. If you can bleed th eair out and it works ok a few days, then it has air in it again, most likely you have a bad head gasket.

Replacing thermostat

follow the bottom pipe of the radiator to the engine block. the thermostat is close to that.

a good idea would be to flush your system (get a bottle radiotor flush from a motor spares shop and follow instructions. It makes sense since you are going to be draining the system anyways and clearly you have an overheating problem so you are killing two birds with one stone

make sure the engine is off and cooled down. Hot radiator fluid is higher than boiling point.

remove the cooling system cap to ensure there is no pressure in the system.

loosen the hose clamps of the above mentioned pipe. remove pipe, from engine block and radiator.

Look for bolts on and close to where the radiator hose connects. there should be two ir three.

Loosen and remove. gently remove the housing. Be careful when removing the old thermostat and new thermostats do not come with the rubber seal you see around the thermo.

Replace with identical thermo. when replacing the housing remember to apply gasket sealant. this takes 8 to 12 hours to harden / cure.

replace the radiator hose to be one the safe side. tighten clamps, fill up radiator with anti-freeze/summer coolant and water.

You should be up and running in a day or two

Hard to start backfire and gets hot quick but ran

If it gets hot quick, could have a problem with the cooling system, blocked radiator,leaks?
Pressure test radiator and cooling system.
They will backfire if they get too hot.
If its just been rebuilt, check head bolts, valve clearances

Overheating. i put in a new thermastate, clutch fan and a new radaiator cap, and today i flushed out my radiator

Hi have a pressure test done on the cylinder head to rule out a head gasket failure, also check the water pump, and last make sure the coolant system has been bled properly,

Hope this helps
