Yeah I'll have to start tearing this thing apart LOL. How's this for a beginning start, this is combination racing radiator and fan. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Radiator-Replacement-1995-1999-Mitsubishi/dp/B07G236MSG/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=eclipse+racing+radiator&qid=1554837075&s=automotive&sr=1-6
So Basically the current list is:
1) Bleed Coolant (is this what they call a coolant flush?
2) New Radiator Fan (can you guys provide any links to ordering a decent one for the money)
3) Head Gasket Issue (geez where do I begin with this, this is where I can get destroyed at the shop by not...
Thank you, sounds good. So bleed the coolant system and get a radiator fan that works to start. I'll probably have the mechanic do that in one shot. Is there a link for an affordable one? Mine is not side mounted its behind the intercooler.
I've done that. When the car over heated the first time I put coolant in because there was none left. The guy who sold it to me probably knew of this issue and kind of took off after selling it to me, which is fine or whatever I know it needed TLC and had potential. I am just getting pretty...
I think the coolant got pretty low over a month of driving, but it never leaks? The car actually never leaks, maybe a drop of oil every now and then but its in good shape, just have this 1 issue.
Yes so the coolant bubbled and got super hot. Causing steam/almost smoke coming from the engine at one point. When the car over heated white smoke came out. This happened when I turned off the heater. Car instantly over heated within 5 minutes. But with heat on I can drive it for hours with no...
Yes the car is MINT! I had the body, interior done, looks everything! I don't want to get rid of the car. I'm too scared getting ripped off at a mechanic to take it anywhere near one around here! Only issue is the head gasket, car runs drives amazing.I'll pay for a DSM Tuner to come out and...
Ahh thanks for the info! I'd love to have it looked at and repaired but my patience is running low for this beauty! I'm putting her up for sale, and if I can't get any decent offers i'll just have her repaired down the road. These cars are cursed! lol jk
Yes it stops the overheating!! Temp gauge goes down and steam/bubbling completely stops. I have no idea why this happens. with the heat on car has zero overheating issues
Been having times where my car over heats when I turn off the heat in my car. I'm assuming its head gasket issues? Car runs perfect with heat is turned on in car, when the heat is turned off car will overheat and bubble the coolant and cause pressure.
I want to, just not sure who to go with, currently not in the car scene at all. Also hoping for a warranty on the service. How much it will cost. If I should buy the parts myself etc. I have a 2 car garage with LED lighting too.
