Help - Overheating

Post by JonsINNO »

My 1975 Inno is constantly overheating. Can someone provide advice? Do I change out the radiator, the fan? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Could be a number of things but if it was sudden, my first thought would be to ask if you have checked the head gasket??

Hi, assuming there is nothing more immediately apparent have you got the yellow cooling fan the right way round? (It is labelled as such on the face of the fan)Easy mistake to make but the orientation is critical in maintaining temperature.

Do the easybits first, check thermostat and check hoses , I had a top hose delaminate and it made a internal flap that stopped water flow . Run it from cold and look in radiator with cap off to see what’s going on .
