Good Day Everyone
Need advice on my Citi Golf 1.3 Chico 99"
I've recently done my motor over about 4 months ago. I've changed the water pump as well as oil pump when I did the overhaul. The problem I've got at the moment is that motor seems to be running very hot & quickly too. The water temperature gauge stays over the halfway mark & doesn't drop. I'm using Autozone 20w 50 Multi grade oil and for some reason when the weather is a bit colder than the low pressure warning light blinks...when it's warm weather the light doesn't come on. Just last week I bought a new radiator,thermostat & Antifreeze from Goldwagen.I flushed out the system before installing...still no luck, the temperature stays up past halfway mark. The good thing is the fan kicks in whenever the temperature gets too hot but my question is why is it getting so hot??? Help Please

Re: Motor & Water Temperature High
Did you check the small pipe from the bottle to the radiator? sometimes this one get clogged up.
