After 11years and 93,000 miles decided to have the cam belt, water pump, all belts, tensioners and pulleys replaced, including new anti freeze.
No problems before work done by local mechanic who has worked on the car the last 7 years.
Since the work has been completed the engine runs very hot. The top of the engine, all hoses are very hot to touch. The engine compartment is very hot.
After a few minutes the temp gauge reaches the mid point and does not move. There are no leaks to oil or water. Although the water level has gone down a little (I think to boiling rather than a leak). The hoses are all hot either side of the rad. At standstill and reving the engine the fans cut in for a minute and then go off again. If still reving the fans continue to cut in and out, but the temp gauge does not move. The exhaust is just about warm on tick over until the engine is reved then it is also hot as the revs push out the gases.
The car heater is extremely hot after a few minutes and is of a very dry overheated quality? The thermostat must be opening and the temp sensor is sending a signal to switch the fans on and off.
As you walk past the front of the car you can feel the heat radiated and smell that the hoses are very hot. There isnt a burning smell-yet!!
The car revs and accelerates okay, it is just over hot for some reason. It wasnt like this prior to the work done ??? Worried the car will set on fire or sieze the engine!!!
Any ideas anyone ???
