Nissan Sunny was overheating, water (and steam) coming out of leak in bottom of radiator. Took car to local garage for full service plus overheating problem, full service was done everything fine, garage replaced radiator but said car is still overheating (only when idle, when on run its fine) they backflushed 4 times and said it was full of gunk. Theyve refilled the system with water and coolant twice, run the car and then flushed again but said the cars still overheating in traffic.
a. any ideas what could be the problem ? b. garage charged me £200 cash for all work but problem isnt fixed that i asked them to fix, anything i can do ? c. Would the leak in the radiator have been caused by the overheating ? dont want this to happen on new rad!
