VT overheating problems

Hey I'm new to this forum. I searched on this site but found one about a VS having the same issue but mine is a tad different.

I have a 98 VT Commodore 50th Anniversary. Just recently I was driving it and I hear that little tune play from the car as if I had my parking brake still up, I checked it but it was down so I looked at the dash and on the screen it was flashing "HOT" and I saw the temp needle rise to max. I was worried and had to baby the car back home.

I opened the bonnet and it was hot and I noticed a few drops of on the air filter cover, just below where the coolant reserve tank it. I'm waiting for it to cool down so I can check my coolant level. I'm not leaking any though since there are no spots under the car.

Just wondering if anyone knows what possible problems I could be looking at.

Thanx.

Re: VT overheating problems

Did you find your water levels normal?


If your water levels are fine it sounds like something is stopping air getting to the radiator. Or you fucked a vacuum hose or something, take it to your local mechanic or auto electrician.

Re: VT overheating problems

Have the thermostat replaced and get a coolant flush while your getting that done as well.
