hey all, i have a problem with my vlt overheating. Firstly, i got my head done n everything was fine. it ran well n didnt overheat untill i put radiator flush in it to clean out the system from when da head was cracked. The top hose was boiling while the bottom hose was cold. i replaced the thermostat n water pump but still same problem? anyone know whats going on?

The top hose will always be hotter than the bottom hose, get a shop to put a heat gun on the bottom hose to see exactly how hot it is getting, it could be a false guage reading or heat temp sensor, I have an n/a that shows hot on the dash but I think its a wiring issue.

I finally got a new rad and all is good. Thanks boys but now another problem. the pwr light from the auto keeps flashing when the button is pushed in. when its pushed out it constantly stays on. any ideas? oh n my factory oil pressure sits on one bar on idle but goes to no pressure when i rev da car, even in netural. hope i dont have a oil pressure problem. This car was cheap but so far a massive headace. lol

power switch often gives up and does this replace is the best option oil pressure gauges are often faulty in VLs, many flick between low and high pressure continually check the electrical connection at the block is on the sender firmly
