    Default EG RUNNING HOT

    I am going to buy an eg at a great price. There is one problem it is running hot. The guys says he's switched out the thermostat and the radiator and it is still hot. Anyone have ANY ideas what could be the issue???

    water pump or headgasket.

    When does it overheat? sitting at idle, while driving, etc.

    At idle, check the Radiator fan, as those sometimes decide not to work
    While dirivng, it can be the water pump or headgasket.

    he did say too that he wired the fan so it was always on and said the problem hasn't really happened since then. but he isn't sure because he hasn't drove that much only to and from work to the house.

    is it worth buying do you guys think? price tag is, get this, $400, this is a euro eg too. I thought that was a great price even if I have to put $500 into it, what y'all think??? I think the only rust spot is under the license plate too. no other visible rust/rot.
