Hi All ,

I am noticing that the temp is getting high in no time , 5 min max and that now the temp stands @ 80 degrees instead of 75 (as it always was !!) and that it constantly gets to nearly 90 and fan kicks it back to 80 in an endless loop. I checked the water reservoir and was nearly to minimum. Also the reservoir changed colour to rusty brown inside from white !! So now I am getting clueless ?!? My dad told me its a thermostat issue but he is no mechanic... Any ideas please.

::Update::

After inspection my mechanic flushed out some water where he noticed it was all rusty and re-topped. Now I am going to flush all the water at least two times with cleaner as directed by him and monitor the water again after a week run. He told me temps should be fine even as they are since rust is slowin the flow. My only question is from where does that amount of rust come from ??
