It’s actually pretty easy. You don’t have to worry about evacuating air out of the system as it self bleeds itself. I typically just disconnect the upper hose from the radiator when refilling the system and just gravity feed it, and reconnect everything to itself.start the car up and allow it to purge itself. Problem solved..🥳🎉🙏🏻✝️🌅
Few things to check: 2ND speed fan is working? Or just the first speed fan? If not replace the fan module right in front of the coolant reservoir. Replace for a low fan switch, they have it on fcp euro or ecs tunning. if you have an access to pressure test, check that coolant reservoir and replace the cap.
Yee i just had to replace my aluminum radiator with a standard one, temps were crazy high and thought the standard plastic radiators suck but i had a little drip leak from upper hose which is hard to see with the fans on, i put that hose on better and temps are pretty good so any leaks you will be running hotter, also i did replace my fan not too long ago and realized it was pushing air so i switched the wires maybe i put them on wrong to begin with and now its pulling air and seems to cool off much better and can use it along with driving, this is my same fight also battling heat, little 1.8t are just heat machines
The little line from the radiator to the coolant bottle is what bleeds the air from the system. So no need for a special procedure like other cars. If it gets hot while driving (not still) then it's not a fan issue as the airflow does all the work while in motion. That and the pump/thermostat. Thermostat and cap test would be my first things to check. And do a good coolant system flush. On the fusebox heat, get in behind it and look for signs of corrosion or heat on the plug contacts. The fusebox does sometime go bad. Rate, but if the whole thing is getting HOT, then I'd grab another one and conpare.
Feel both top and bottom radiator hoses to see if they are heating up. Rules out thermostat then. Does sound like one of the fan stages isnt working which keeps it around 80 of dash.
Seems like water problems fixed with tank change, BUT what was already in this video and I didn’t notice it then, the intake manifold is cold but oil temp is sometimes (not always) getting to 120-130C. So maybe a stupid coincidence of two problems happening at once, or somehow it is all related..but cooling system seems to work properly, by looking at all the indicators and stuff. Thanks tho!😊
@@KeidiandCars yeah if water cooling isn't working then this will effect the oil temps too as the coolant is fed through the oil cooler. Glad you got it sorted though used to have a corrado vr6 storm but sold in 2019. So most problems I've come across at some point, I'd had the front end of that car off numerous times I bought it in November 2006 and the radiator went leading up to Christmas. Boxing day the whole front end was off for a radiator change. Keep up the good work 👏
change the expansion bottle, pressure test the cooling system remove the thermostat check it with a thermometer in a cup of boiling water check the two stage fan sensor fit a new water pump, does it have an auxilary electric pump test that do a compression test then drive it over to london england I will have a look for you✌
It does seem like coolant circulation is poor like another user mentioned. Also that sound you're hearing is just the overpressurization of the coolant reservoir due to the coolant boiling or something of the sort. Also, I know this isn't related to the subject but have you ever considered going with an aftermarket engine control unit? Something a bit more modern with some features that will bring the Corrado like 20 years into the future?
Well, honestly I don’t know much of these stuff, seems a lot like wiring-electrical nightmare. And mapping, sofware..😀😳 I do know that newer type vr6 doesn’t have the stupid iac stuff or smth and some swap that system over. But again, have to have a proper specialist for that.. and budget. But I’m doing a little research of what you suggested, thanks!🙌🏼
@@KeidiandCars Well if you decide to even think about going that route I don't mind advising you on a budget friendly route because I think it could be interesting or beneficial. Sometimes moving outside your comfort zone can be an amazing experience.
I totally relate to your problem! 😢 My 93 VR6 is constantly overheating... On a hot day, literally have to stop and turn the engine off for 30 minutes to cool her down! I think my radiator fan is periodically not working! I have an unrelated question please. Since this spring, the passenger side window does not open. When i press the button all I hear is a faint humming sound? You know so much about Corrados so I was hoping you could give me some advice... Big and expensive repair job???
Assuming it’s not electrical fault, maybe the wire is broken or loose, or the scissors don’t move for some reason, or the rail system roller thing is broken. Remove the upholstery, then you already will see I believe. Not a hard work. But if you need to take all inside out, not hard too. Just have to be careful with the window outer seal, only slide it out, no pulling up. Few bolts holding the mechanism, 2 holding the window.. drilling some rivets for the electric motor. Should be about it if I remember correctly.
Maybee your waterpump rotor is defect so the enige coolant does not circulate and the engine is getting hot and the coolant is blowing out of the coolant tank
Starting with the coolant tank, the broken part was bad before, I didn’t know it was broken inside, just thought that the hose and clamp is bad or smth. But yeah, water pump and also thermostat aren’t old, but the next thing to look at if first solution isn’t working. Thanks!

Try swapping out the black coolant cap for a newer blue one. Maybe it's not holding pressure and causing air locks
Mine is painted black. But yeah, broken, you already saw😀

Seems like an easy task.😀
Might be worth replacing the thermostat

@@Pynoxim1 I completly agree, I would want quality and wouldn’t want to look at the budget too much too get it.

@@KeidiandCars Thanks very much 🙏 for the advice! I will try your suggestions and let you know how it went! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Just seen the broken bottle😂
Hiya Keidi, Oil cooler
Maybee your waterpump rotor is defect so the enige coolant does not circulate and the engine is getting hot and the coolant is blowing out of the coolant tank
Starting with the coolant tank, the broken part was bad before, I didn’t know it was broken inside, just thought that the hose and clamp is bad or smth. But yeah, water pump and also thermostat aren’t old, but the next thing to look at if first solution isn’t working. Thanks!
Try the simple things first before changing to much.
