sorting the overheating out once and for all!!!

  1. #1
    *. I cleaned the heater matrix out noticed it started off rusty then went clear as to water colour. The over all condition looked new. I really hope this cures the overheating problem. When I took the heater matrix off there was no water in there or maybe a drop or two. Im still weary that the water is not geting there, even though I bleed the rad nipple then thermostat, then the bleed valve by the heater matrix, once ive made sure all the air is out in order I do them up, the fans blow a lil hot air then go cold, not long after Ive pulled off say 4 mins the heater gauge goes to half way then over then the fan comes on, when I go back home to bleed the system again the 1st bleed nipple on the rad has tons of air by it and hisses for a while*. Thats waht normally happens but I havent tried it since ive done the heater matrix, so any advice in advance guys ? ? ?
