Angry Temp at 240

96 Aurora. Here's one.... The temp gage is at 240 and it's not blowing any heat! It was a half a gallon low. The temp outside at the noon hour was -5.

Re: Temp at 240

If your temp gauge reads 240, there is no heat...most likely (even though yoiu are low on coolant) the coolant mix is not correct and your cooling system is a block of ice...especially at -5

The reason you were hot was being low, the reason for no heat was being low. If you rev it up you may get heat. Do you have a leak, or a blow a head gasket.

Check your oil if you have no leak. If your low enough on coolant your water pump won't work, therefore no heat.

Re: Temp at 240

Sounds like a blown head gasket or massive cooling system failure. Could potentially be a big problem.

Re: Temp at 240

Or you were so low on Antifreeze that the heater core emptied.

Re: Temp at 240

Well after this weekend... The car just sits at 240 degrees. It hasn't needed any water. As for being froze. I kept it in a heated garage and it's still doing the same thing.
