Have you add any additives lately to the radiator. this sometime cause the radiator to get clooged up, another reason. check your fan relay if you got one! and all the radiator hoses need to be purge too along with radiator, or replace radiator.
Are you sure the radiator fan is kicking on?
That vehicle has a known problem with fan relays....
Yes it is kicking on when it reaches the normal temp.
You may very well have air in your cooling system.
It is not that difficult a job to get the air out of your car radiator. You don't need professional help for this as its easy enough to be done at home manually. Firstly start your engine with the radiator cap off to avoid building up of pressure and let the engine run for approximately fifteen minutes. Then turn on your heater and turn it up to 'hot'.
This will help circulate the coolant and push out any trapped air. The space that is emptied by the air that has been flushed out could be now used to pour more coolant. Be careful as the air that has been released is quiet hot. Make sure you keep your hands miles away from it as you don't want any injuries. Then you just put the cap back on and wipe of the remaining fluid around it with a cloth or a rag.
I have done that too... I think I may have got a bad thermostat as I hear that is quite common. So im going to just take the thermostat out and see if it will heat up without it and if it does I don't know what else to do other then try a new radiator.
Hey there Im having the same problem as you. Have you figured out whats wrong yet?
