The other day I was driving home from a nice drive of about 70 miles when my car started to overheat. Usually my car runs more warm then it should and has never spiked up to the red on the temp. gauge until my trip home. So I replaced the thermostat from one from Victoria British. VB has 3 different kinds. Standard, Winter, and Summer. I bought a standard one and put it onto my car. So I started to warm up my car today and while it was warming up the gauge just keep climbing to the mark between the one in the middle and the red one. While it was warming up the radiator was pushing some fluid into the overflow tank.(Is that normal when it is warming up?) Once I started to leave my drive way it started to go up even more. So I pulled back into the garage and said the heck with it for tonight. My Grandpa was over tonight and I told him that my car overheated and he said I should get my radiator flushed or atleast I think thats what he said. Would that help out my cooling problem? Since I've had the car I put a little hole in the radiator and put the stop leak or some other kind of stuff the fix the leak. I'm wondering if that stop leak stuff is doing something to my car. I'm kinda disapointed with this whole situation right now. I need some help so any advise would be awesome.
