Re: 2019 trax overheating
Welcome to AF. Ok, how do you know the hd gasket is ok? Start the engine from cold, wait one minute and see if the radiator hoses are pressurized.

Re: 2019 trax overheating
Ok, I've used that test also, but not every head gasket issue involves combustion gasses. Plugs show any sign of coolant contamination? As I suggested, does the radiator hose get pressurized right after a cold start?

Re: 2019 trax overheating
Harder then when cold but not hard. Even when super hot hoses are not hard. I pressurized the system to 20psi and it holds.

Re: 2019 trax overheating
Using an infrared thermometer, check the temp differences between the radiator hoses, an efficient radiator should have at least 20 degees difference. Also look for cool areas in the core. Of course make sure all the air is bled out of the system.

Re: 2019 trax overheating
This car has no bleed screw. I ran it for a while with
The overflow cap off hoping it would bleed off. |
