This car has always been next to impossible to fill with antifreeze. I recently replaced all the hoses and, as usual, the cooling system is now impossible to fill. I have tried everything I know. It runs fine for 30 to 45 minutes and more. But when I put the radiator cap oni rapidly overheats in about 5 to 10 minutes (guage shows hot and light comes on). It also cools off very quickly from this point, which is also weird.
I know it could be the water pump, thermostat and / or radiator cap. The strange part is that it does not overheat with the radiator cap off. That makes me think the thermostat and pump are OK
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
