I think this is what you meant to say

maybe your fan is not enough to keep it cool or the radiator or something is clogged. Try pinching the radiator hoses while the car is running, to make sure that the coolant is flowing, when you squeeze the hose you should feeling the coolant flowing through it, if you dont then its clogged somewhere. Oh and I notice you didnt say anywhere that you bought coolant, make sure you coolant level is good and that there are no air bubbles in there.

Thank you Yes, this point being made by you, but what do you mean, my brother coolent is it for transmission Crankshaft or what?

coolant goes into your radiator, it is also called radiator fluid. you have to make sure that is full and doesnt have any air bubbles. I cant think of anything other than that since you said that all the parts are brand new. Just make sure that the fluid is flowing and you have plenty of it.

what degree rating is your thermostat? it should be somewhere between 180 and 200.

with your problem it may be any of the following:
-thermostat is too high--190 or 200. I'd get a 180 degree thermostat.
-make sure you put the thermostat in correctly. in some cars it can be put in backwards. check with the auto store you bought it from. I think you should have the springs pointing toward the motor --- NOT the radiator.
-make sure your fan blades are pulling the air---not pushing. you can tell this by simply taking a few scraps of yard/lawn grass and dropping them in front of your radiator. if they are sucked into the radiator likely the blades are going in the right direction. if not then take the fan blades off and flip and reinstall. then do the grass trick and see if that helps.

hope this helps.



guys---correct me if i'm wrong on the direction of the thermostat.

just to be sure, take your thermostat out and try running it without and see if it still gets hot. you can also check to see if the thermostat is working by putting it in some boiling water and looking to see if it opens, and also itwould be a good idea to have a thermometer to check at what temp it opens at if you dont know what it should

Thank U guys
My thermostat range is 160 F. and i tried to take it out and I feel the hot of the car is littele better
but if u said that the tempreture between 180-200 is normal then that mean my car is fine .am i right?
