Hi all,

Recently i've noticed that my TF magna is heating up more than normal, i feel too much heat coming from the engine bay, and from underneath the car. My heat guage moves up to notches sometimes while driving most times while sitting. I flushed my radiator 3 months ago, and replaced the Fan relays on both aircon fan and such, and they were the correct ones.

I would like to know what could be causing this cause it might be something simple that will cost me virtually nothing to fix myself, save me $$$ by gettin a mechanic to look at it.

Also, I've noticed a certain ticking (explained in a previous thread i know), coming from what appears to be the cylinders.

Wondering if anyone could give me a solution on how to mainly fix the overheating problem.

im not sure about the heating problem,my tf has never over heated, the tapping noise is the tappets in teh cylinders, nothing you can do about it, i have it, my mates gsr has it, his mates gsr has it, its a mitsu thing, the tappets always seem to be noisy, you can have em rebuilt but it wont make any difference it will come back soonish.
