Steve LS Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 friggen fridgid up here. Even with warm engine straight water will still freeze in the radiator when driving or like with the old engine fans. But I guess you know that now.

Robby1870 Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 yeah, its like 8* at night and not much warmer in the day time and my GP aint used to this weather, she is used to KY weather not this Indiana snow and stuff. I have to let her warm up for like 10 minutes, or its acts all crazy and stuff. Like, it feels like it is missing, so I put some of that stuff that absorbs water in the gas tank and I hope that helps. And the tranny sometimes acts up......oh well, I just want it to be warm, b/c all these problems didn't start happening untill it go really cold.

88Intl Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Must be challenging for automotive manufacturers to design things to work flawlessly in -30F or 130F weather. Parts expand and contract, plastics degrade in hot sun and get brittle in extreme cold. If they only had to design for operation in a narrow temperature range, would a car cost less and have less design compromises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
