The original ones even the old 1.6 radiator on the photos was nissens

I removed the old fan and that metal duct (shroud) and purchased a new dual fan with their shroud

Finally after a year i solved this problem and im so thankful for you guys and your help and i hope somebody learns from what happened to me what i did was i contacted a radiator craftsman who made me a radiator with thin pipes which was 28*60 the (1.6 radiator)in diameter all aluminum with the same openings and mounting points before installing i did cooling system cleaning and flush installed the new radiator with the old fan but same results at highway speeds the car is fantastic with ac on and everything but at stop lights fan doesn’t shut off and engine keeps overheating even when ac off so i threw away the old noise hog fan and installed a double fan system and boy it’s different in every single aspect car doesn’t overheat any more fans kick on for 20-30 seconds at high speeds (the fan speed) and shut off in red lights you can barely hear it even at high at the highway fans don’t kick on at all and with ac its 90 all the time at the highway or red lights thank you all for your help and what were skoda thinking when they fitted that crapy cooling system?

Yes

An update for you guys So i installed the thermostat and before i install it i did a cooling system flush and the results are with no ac temps are between 70 and 90 pretty stable its the same city or highway without ac With ac in the city its like this But no boiling or anything and the fan is working great The ac condenser is very hot at left side right side is warm to the touch However ac at highway sometimes gets to 90 but no higher

Im about to install the thermostat and change the tap water to coolant

160 is flat out i know but ppl here in egypt complain about their cars overheating from going above 120 For me its the opposite

Its o kay bro the important thing is to know something useful from my experience and not just you every felicia owner I think yes the water pump is good i just replaced it the old one was leaking but no improvement

I open it cuz when i feel the fan with me hand its just warm air when i release some pressure the air gets very very hot So what is the solution?

So i installed the elantra fan its much much stronger but still have the same issue At high way speeds like 150 160 km/h the engine is cool even with ac is on any open road engine is great and no overheating But at the city its the same problem but it didn't get to redline its just a smidge over 90 then i get afraid and shut down the engine When i open the reservoir the water gets out Alot of it then i top it off and go stays some time at 90 then gets higher and repeat I think i have air in the system

Oh **** i forgot

My friend . Its the sad truth You take it all in On surrender from the beginning

So i found a fan with its shroud its for hyundai elantra its 2 speed with dimensions of 44cm * 35 cm i might install it in a day or 2 when i have the time I will test it if it is good with ac i might install the thermostat and problem solved If not i will get back to square one

I know the disadvantages of a removed thermostat ****y fuel economy More engine wear **** you catalytic converter And More carbon build up But i dont want to install it till i know that the cooling system is 100% healthy

What exactly what i have

As long as ac is on when the car or the ac condenser is cold the fan spins slowly Once it gets hot it spins really fast and never get colder but overheats pretty quickly But on the high way at a hot day and 140km\h it never overheats it gets cooler actually

I bought the car like this I have bought one after i posted this topic but didn't install it cuz im afraid of overheating I think they remove it here to improve coolant flow in the system I dont know exactly

Im sure that there is no air in the system The water pump is brand new The thermostat is uninstalled The new rad will not work at all if not properly connected right?

But its not helping the car cool down in the city What should I do?

That has the big booty

An update for you guys the radiator works fine on the highway very fine actually the fan doesn't kick in untill some time and in a hot day too but in the city not so great The fan is on the whole time even while im not moving the car is not overheating or anything but when i use the ac it goes up so i shut it off after 15 mins the car gets back to normal temps with original fan Long story short i think that confirms that the fan is weak and needs to be replaced any one knows a set of fans that i can install to my car? The dimensions are 280mm*500mm

My biggest issue was was the expansion tank and where the outlet of it will go Inside the footer was the same plastic divider of the radiator so i figured it will work like the old one but with wider pipes Still didn't test it yet cuz im waiting for the fan still The lower hose that connects to the water pump did fit alright between the ac compressor lines and the ac compressor body but the fan switch is so tight with the alternator im talking like 50mm space I tried the radiator at highway speeds the temp was pretty stable with a broken fan and no ac When i install the new fan will post the results with pics

Forgot to mention my fan bearings are worn out so i might fit 2 modern fans instead of this old noisy hog and i had to replace these 2 things from the old radiator these in the pic are the 1.6s umm come to think of it the one on the right should have been installed so the fan switch could have some room to fit probably and plug the upper hole with something

Update for you guys Finally i had some time to squeeze the 1.6 radiator and indeed it is 10 cm wider The fan switch is squished between the radiator and the alternator but it works I did fill the system with cooland and noticed it took ages to warm up but the fan didn't kik in so i took off the reservoir cap and holy smokes it had alot of pressure and alot of coolant came out so i figured i got air in the system so i started to bleed it from air toped it off to the mark the fan kicks in alright and stops for 2 to 3 mins but didn't try it on the road or with ac maybe tomorrow we will see the results and post an update
