Overheating SolvedSolved

Honda Civic 2000  150000 miles
Hello, I'm having problems with my vehicle. It overheats, evaporating all of the antifreeze coming to the deposit or water recovery system, so I need to be adding water every three days. I've already changed hoses, the thermostat, suspenders, the water pump, the radiator and many radiator plugs. I've then been told that the problem was the catalytic converter and so I changed it, but nothing ever changed. Any ideas?

Your problem must be in the gasket's head. You should tell your mechanic to remove it, check it under pressure and check the block as well.

You were right Lil, the gasket's head has been changed, it has been brushed and welded. The problem is now solved, thank you so much.

Same problem - Heater hoses into heater core were backwards. Similar symptons - cruising = overheating, stop light/idle = temperature drop

Random overheat

Honda Civic 2004 Sedan 690000 miles
Had the mechanic shop fix our ac, since then it will randomly overheat or my gas sensor will not read properly (That was stuck and is temporarily fixed until we can get it to the shop) The overheating has caused Buffy (Our Civic) to be undriveable.

Overheating

Honda Civic 2004 Ex coupe 180500 miles
I just bought a used 2004 Honda civic ex coupe and it started overheating. The previous owner said that he replaced the radiator, timing belt, water pump, etc. And gave me the old timing belt as proof. I replaced the thermostat to see if that was the issues but it was not. When I open the radiator cap to add coolant it is never full. Any ideas?

Oil in radiator overflow, overheating

Honda Civic 1998 D16y7 168348 miles
Just bought a 1998 coupe civic dx model with a d16y7 ? Manual 1.6l on my way home I parked the vehicle noticed bubbling sound coming from under hood figured coolant ? Two days later I checked fluids radiator lost coolant and oil down to my knuckle on radiator cap with oil. Rinsed out overflow it was full too with engine oil. Refilled coolant, hoses have probably too much pressure in it. Radiator fan has yet to turn on.

Overheating

Honda Civic 1999 Hatchback 204500 miles
I changed the radiator cause it had a crack in it and was obviously overheating. I changed the hoses and thermostat as well. The fan stopped working so I changed the relay. Every three days I top off the coolant in the morning because if I don't on the third day it will start overheating but then will go back down. It fluctuates. When I put fluid in even when cold like in the morning I notice lots of pressure built up. There's no oil in the over flow fluid. It looks pretty clean.

Everytime i stepped-up the gas to reach over 65/kmph, the heat sensor meter starts to rattle back and forth but the engine does not overheat. What's the problem?
