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.

Problem is the speedometer thermostat and mileage and cruise control does not work. It’s computerized, but the fuel gage works.

Engine not heating

Honda Civic 2009 Hatchback 2.2 CTDI 170000 miles
The engine barely heats, i have low temperature on the gauge, and also from the cabin heater not much. Especially in the winter the temperature gauge of the engine barely moves, when i’m turning on the heating in the cabin, the arrow drops to zero. I’ve changed the thermostat, got rid of air pockets, coolant level is ok, changed the temperature sensor on the engine block. I’ve noticed few days ago that the rubber hose that is clamped to the thermostat is weeping a bit, i can see a slight residue of coolant crystallised. Could it be that it’s sucking air in the system? Besides that what could it be? Thank you!

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?

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.
