whats up guys? Here is my problem..I own a 97 2.2cl.. well i was driving home from work today...its like a 30min drive all highway and i noticed that my temperature needle when slightly above the normal temperature....when i got home...i opened the hood and checked the resevoir and it the fluid was slightly above the max tick mark...so i know im not low on fluid....i also heard the fan run...so i know my fan is working...i unscrewed the cap to the resevoir and i noticed steam coming from the hose (the hose that sucks fluid into the radiator and out of the radiator) is this normal? What could the problem be? thanks guys.

 

maybe your hose is leaking?

was it dark? try taking a closer look in the morning..

 

when do thermostats normally die on 2.2cl?

 

I bet one dollar it's the water pump

 

Mine does the same.i'll try the thermastat first.Im at 119k

 

have you done the water pump timing belt ?
