who\'s got electric water pump?

Hi Jason,
There must be something fundamentaly wrong with the way you have set up things.
Did you drop the pump below the bottom of the rad?That is most important.
The engine should defintiley not over heat if you have done this,maybe,just maybe the system is not filled properly and you have an air lock.That will also stop the coolant flowing and just thrash it around a bit instead.
The coolant must be bled out of the highest point in the system which is not the filler above the thermostat but in the plenum near the throttle where the small rubber hose connects from the back of the engine to it,you must bleed the system from there to make sure it is full.
Kind regards
Carl

i can show you the burn on my left hand where i disconected the pipe on the inlet to see if there was a flow. there is definatly a flow as a nice constant flow of hot water got me.

the bubbles were more obvious in the filler neck on the engine when i had the cap off and the pump on full.

the engine dropped in temp as i said when i had the fans on with cold water on the rad. wouldnt you say that sounded more like rad efficency than air lock???:confused:
also i couldnt get it any lower than a few mm bellow(pipe length) but have seen these things grafted to the engine were the old water pump is. i did have it loose and moved it about to try to get any air out.

You maybe right about the rad not being up to it but if it was ok on the old engine then it should be on this one at least for running the engine at low power and idling.
Is that an direct replacement rad for an FC?
Kind regards
