Caprice SS 2000 Model V8 and 5.7 Ltrs engine

Dear forum members.
I am facing Problem with Caprice SS 2000 model .

Engine Heating when AC is turned on. with out AC the temperature is up to half as soon as AC is turned on temperature gradually raises.

I have checked Fans.coolent,new radiator and new radiator is flushed ones. still there is a problem

when checked with mechanic he says its a common problem . and there is no solution . its really painful in hot summer of 50°C.

Please give your valuable feed back.

Regards

Check to see if the radiator in your car is up to the task for your area.

To be honest, you might get a quicker response with this car if you ask in the Holden / Commodore section as this is what this car is.

with any coolant system the use of distilled water is recomended to prevent a mineral/scale type of build up...

I would drain the engine using the knock sensors holes if this is the LT1 engine or whatever needs to be removed opened to do this ..then add an acid coolant flush to completely cleanup the built up deposits..then after flushing and compltely draining add 50 % coolant with 50% distilled water...do not use non distilled water..also do not mix coolant types..

the system/thermostat/an pressure should be checked ...

make sure you have the correct thermostat part..you may find this engine uses a specific thermostat...

with temps above 100deg f/50deg c you must have no leaks...make sure also no air in the system..
