So I've been having a problem with my teg for about a week now trying to find the cause before posting a question on here sounding like a noob, but I need help.
My car has been running hot lately, not on the temp gauge but just under the hood it is super hot. I replaced my thermostat, upper radiator hose and clamps, upper and lower radiator housing gasket, radiator cap and heater hose. My temp gauge after the install still reads fine and my car doesn't overheat but I've had friends look at it and they all agree that it's too hot.
It smells like antifreeze too, even when driving you can smell it sometimes.
I've checked all of the hoses I can see for cuts or holes. The only thing I haven't tried is replacing the black circle cap that's plastic where you drain the antifreeze.
I don't have A/C so I never run it and my radiator fan does work.
So I have no idea :???:
