C8 CORVETTE OVERHEATING ISSUE

[@David-jh8mp]

That’s true, cops seem to avoid pulling over Corvettes. The cops I meet actually give compliments about the car and are pretty cool.

[@RWDC8Z]

Same! Thanks for watching!

[@jonathankountz1252]

My c8 had overheating issues. The water pump manifold with a coolant line had a bad connection, which leaked coolant. The dealership said there was a service bulletin put out regarding it, but my temps were like 260-270 so had to have it towed unfortunately.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks for the info man! I still have full coolant so I think it’s bubbles in my situation but good to know! Thanks for watching!

[@sonicloud7774]

I love the Venus fly trap action going on with the C8 coloring.

[@louisszabo9061]

Overheating and wait until you leave some oil on the exhaust manifold. Fiero Meltdown

[@bryceerban947]

Rarely above 200 with my Z51 in the 80-90 range for ambient temp. Think about those temps in Parhump at Ron Fellows also below 210 and that's after being run hard on the track. Was 110 out the week I was there too. Most likely air bubbles and the system needs to be bled.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thinking the same!

[@c8miamicarclub]

At ron fellows the car is constantley moving.but at idle for over 30 min to hit 248 is scary wonder if any other c8 has that issue at idle for that long

[@reviewsverse3743]

@@c8miamicarclub mine at idle was at 220 , it’s brand new c8-r and I am not sure if this is normal , if I am moving it runs between 180 to 190

[@WaveManMike]

If the coupe does this then just imagine what the convertible would do 😳

[@davidfullerton1865]

That's normal for us C4 guys. Ours will run all the way up to 230 before the fan kicks on. I think I would be a little worried with a new car going that hot.

[@stymie09]

I'm in South Florida and the temp here was about 65-70 degrees today. My C8's not broken in yet, but after a 30 minute drive the engine temp was 185 when I got home. Idling for about 5 minutes in the garage it rose to 200 which is about where it usually is on any 80 degree day idling. I'm not familiar with the C8 DCT or if it shares any of the radiators for cooling, so I'm guessing keep an eye on trans temp. But you're motor's definitely running too hot.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks for the info Ted!

[@c8miamicarclub]

Let it sit in the drive way for 30 min or so and see if it gets up to 248 like his.mine is doing the same while sitting at idle for 30 min

[@reviewsverse3743]

@@RWDC8Z I have brand new 2022 c8-r 800 miles idling it was running 220, not,sure if this is good ?

[@MrAnemonehost]

My temp spikes have been from air bubbles near the thermostat.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thinking the same!

[@richarddjohanson]

Try a bottle of VP Racing Fuels Madditive Cool Down - Radiator Systems Temperature Decrease 16 oz. they claim it also reduces combustion chamber temp up to 75 degrees. I put a bottle in my C8 and have no issues of running high they also claim increase in power.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks man!

[@yishmeister]

Do not check that coolant when the engine is warm man. Check the level when the car is cool like you are planning to do, and compare to the recommended cold level per the manual. Good luck!

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks for looking out!

[@Beachbumzz1]

Generally seeing around 175 on temp. I got up to 205 on windy 20 degree day driving “slowly” through Christmas light display show. For back window use Invisible Glass 95164 Reach and Clean Tool. I got mine from Amazon 👍🏼

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks for the info!

[@zioo3117]

I have no idea if it has to do with heat problems: the fuel injection can get somewhat clocked because the injection is direct. There is no cleaning of the valves. That's why some owners recommend the catch can. However, this seems far-fetched. Either a leak in the cooling system or a blockage in the system makes sense. Or, the pump. If it has a problem, then there might not be circulation. Thermostat is another important thing to check. I'd get the car into the dealer quickly and have it checked out. One more thing. Do the screens that protect the radiators that are after-market items cause over-heating? Not to this degree. I don't know if the Chevy app would shed light on it. Yes. Get it into the dealer. Best wishes and let us know what it was, OK? AF

[@josephdixon507]

Man at 3:40 I see fluid on the ground, looking like center to passenger side quarter. I know my car never has hit 200 in Indy hot summer last July and at parked idle it shuts down automatically. My fans never sound like that. Hell I thought you had an 18 wheeler going by that was so loud. Hope you get it figured out.

[@RWDC8Z]

Yeah man it was loud! I was thinking the same when I was editing but the video shows that puddle was there when I was pulling in. Thanks for watching!

[@rickcorrea891]

What is the red round metal tab in front grill called?where can I get one? Thanks

[@RWDC8Z]

It’s called a tow hook. Just go to google and type in c8 tow hook and you should find a bunch. Mine was from ZL1addicts.con

[@lanceaustin2535]

Also, at 58° you also most likely had your heater on. If low in fluid, consider heater core too.

[@RWDC8Z]

I think it’s air pockets in the system

[@AbanoubI]

Mines doing the same thing and it's fluctuating between 210-189 in a matter of a few seconds... any resolution?

Man I love the green 👍

[@RWDC8Z]

😂 well I appreciate it sir!

[@lanceaustin2535]

Lots of fluid on the ground. Could your dirty back window be coolant?

[@RWDC8Z]

No that’s from rain and car washes. I saw the fluid on the ground too when editing and saw it was there before he got there. Thanks for looking out.

[@dsmdriver2588]

Was driving my 2021 today in Orlando and it never went over 180 degrees. I think it's funny how I'm 32, my gf is asian and also live in Orlando. Your like my long lost brother lol

[@RWDC8Z]

Not long at all, 5 mins? I think I have air pockets from when they drained the system when changing the transmission.

[@camillecarter1784]

[@phrankk72]

Check the fans behind the front two radiators. The fans you hear in the video is more for exhausting the heat out of the engine bay.

[@DerrickSouthBeach]

No, do not implement the suggestion to drive the car at 3000 rpm for ten minutes to expel air bubbles. Take the car to the dealership. Let the certified Chevrolet mechanic diagnose and resolve the matter. further, if the overheating manifest as a persistence matter with the vehicle, you have mechanic records as documentation. Additionally, the specific benefit of a warranty is to address mechanical frustrations.

That’s what happens when you let kids beat the crap out of a new car always adding things that don’t need it some day they will mature and learn

[@RWDC8Z]

Jay are you saying adding a cat back exhaust system and wrap is immature? Are you saying beating the crap out of it is using it for what it was purposely built to do, such as race and track it? Have you thought it might have something to do with it being the first year of a brand new model, or maybe due to a previous repair like changing the trans and draining the coolant and not refilling properly? Or were you just being close minded, making assumption, and being judgmental?

No problem man, I just don’t want people reading comments like this and getting a perspective of the channel that isn’t true.

210 overheating??? My SILVERADO was at 220 degrees for two hours straight off roading last summer. You do know GM runs their cars hotter for better efficiency right?? I don't think you should be making KZbin videos when you don't know the mechanical workings of a cooling system... 260 degree's is overheating...

I love comments like this. Did you watch the entire video? It got up to 248 degrees before I shut it down. The fans sounded like a jet taking off. I don’t think you should comment on someone’s video unless you watch the entire thing or assume someone’s knowledge till you actually get to know them since we are just throwing out random opinions.
