  • my old fiesta diesel overheats in traffic i have to turn the hot air on to keep it cool ive checked coolant and oil levels and they are fine so i dont have a clue whats causing it or is it just normal for a car to overheat when u wait in traffic for long periods

  • also when the head gasket starts to crack it may overheat....

  • @Michael99959 No, that would seemly be you. The guy is trying to help people troubleshoot, but here you're calling him a idiot. If you have problems with people arguing with you? Ha, then maybe you should focus eyes on yourself bud because I could understand why you would have that problem.

  • @Michael99959 Wrong Michael, you sir seem like a idiot.

  • seems a little nervous lol what gave you that impression?

  • You forgot a water pump with a badly corroded away impeller.
