Hello,
Last month, I had my car overheating and I did all I could to fix the cause. I replaced the radiator fan, AC condensor fan, fan relay and coolant temperature sensor (located on the radiator). I had also replaced the timing belt, water pump and some hoses.
Now my car is overheating again. The symptoms are slightly different though. The car overheats much sooner if the AC is on. If I don't turn on the AC, then it doesn't heat that much.
I also noticed that, if the AC is on, the car overheats even I am driving on the highway at 70mph. Now my understanding was that the cars don't overheat if you are driving at high speed on the highway. There is enough air flow to provide cooling. I see that the radiator fan is running, but it doesn't help the cooling.
Could you experts please provide some tips. What would cause the overheating at 70mph? Why turning on the AC makes my car overheat much faster?
Thanks, Mark
