OVERHEATING QUESTION 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Mon Feb 12 15:05 CST 2024 [RELATED]

1980 Volvo 245 M46

Temp Guage normally at 9 O'Clock. Started climbing to 3/4 before red - shut off - replaced thermostat - same problem. Car did not get near the red since I shut it down well before that.

But there is fluid, but the top rad has and radiator are cold - bottom os warm.

Sound like water pump?


GMB, HEPU or Original Volvo the way to go. May as well do rad - as it's a 5 yr old Nissan's.

Thanks for the advice and your experience with pump manufacturers.
