HELP! i need a s2k doctor
hi guys,
i just changed my stock radiator to koyo aluminun radiator,
the weird thing is that when i set my a/c all the way to the right(heat/red).
i still get cold air blowing, even after 40mins of driving, its still cold air blowing!?
what could cause this?
another is my engine temp keeps going up and down,
could the wrong coolant cause this?
is there a temp control device that could be malfunctioning?
its annoying to keep pulling over, i dont know if im overheating or not.
any help would be appreciated

If you're a "handy kinda guy", you can do this yourself using the DIY I wrote up on the coolant change, flush and bleed:

Just scroll down to the part where the bleeding starts.

I've found even if you follow the manual to the T, you will still have air in the system. It can take up to 15 miles or more and the car may start to overheat. It takes some trial and error to get the air out, opening the front bleeder with the engine running helps alot.
