Hi guys, so recently my lower radiator hose split and the car over heated pretty badly. When it over heated the water pump shot on me, so following that I replaced the water pump and my thermostat. Since then I have replaced my steering rack, and removed my power steering. I removed my power steering because multiple times since I replaced the thermostat and water pump the power steering pully would split my lower radiator hose. I have all the hoses rerouted and working properly now. But now when I start my E30 it runs at about normal temperature for a while (about a quarter or so) then starts to run hotter, then cool down a little, then run hotter, then cool down a little, then she seems to run almost touching the red and go back and forth. I thought it was my thermostat again but I tested it and my thermostat still opens. My radiator still seems good, hot in the upper hose and cooler in the lower hose. I'm completely stuck at a loss now, I'm clueless what to do and I will never take my car to a mechanic. So any help anyone could give me would be just lovely. I have work all next week and need to get her back into shape this weekend because I cannot miss work. So pleeeeaaase, anything that will help, let me know.
Thanks,
Colby
