I have the 98 CSVT, 126000Km.
Last year I replaced the thermostat, and both temp sensors after my car started "overheating" ever since then the car has always ran just over the half way mark, but overall no issues. Before it always ran just below.
This afternoon I was waiting in the parking lot, my temp started climbing and almost pegged out, I turned on my A/C so that the fans would kick in and then it was fine. I got home and did some troubleshooting and this is what I found. Fans kick in a 3/4 temp, but isnt there suppose to be one that kicks in lower? Other thing I'm questioning is the waterpump as I know this is a common problem, and its about that time. How do I know for sure that this is the issue, I still see rad fluid being circulated in the resevior.
Any comments would be helpful.
Also I read that the Napa metal impellar pumps leak around the shaft, is this the same with all metal impellar designs? Can anyone recommend one that they had a good experience with.
