My F/W A-4 is running hot after making some repairs/upgrades . It normally ran at 165-180 and now runs at 190-210. The repairs and upgrades should have made the cooling more efficient, not less.
REPAIRS/UPGRADES
1) Replaced Accessory Drive and Water pump with new Moyer units.
2) H/X cleaned/flushed, replaced leaking end plate gaskets, replaced zinc.
3) Replaced short hoses to/from thermostat (removed thermostat to do job, new gasket)
4) R/W pump rebuilt by Oberdorfer and reinstalled.
5) Replaced and re-routed R/W water hoses that had kinks to improve flow.
6) Replaced coolant with new 50/50 mix (Green).
Any ideas or suggestions on the cause(s)?
