Very bizarre overheating problem. 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be miracleman49 on  Wed Jul 2 14:59 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Were the hoses actually worn out, or did they develop leaks/pinholes due to ovepressurization of the cooling system. What I am getting at is, do you think you may have a clogged radiator? Your symptoms are similar to those I had on a 91 240 this spring. Even though radiator was only 2 years old, it was 60% clogged! The over pressurization from the water pump running at a dead head caused coolant to escape wherever it could, usually forcing its way out at the hose connections. Replaced the radiator, no more problems.

good luck.
