My Fiat Cinquencento 1998 (r) has been overheating since i bought it, have
replaced radiator, electric fan switch (so fan works) taken out thermostat
to run it cooler (which worked for a while) but car is still overheating.
The head gasket is fine and the coolant system has been bleed loads so
there cannot be any air in it.
Please Help!!
Any suggestions - anyone no of any problems with the hoses going into the
car, as the other day the top hose felt cold whereas the bottom hose was
hot!?!? odd!!

Yes, you have an airlock. Are you sure you followed the procedure for
bleeding the system to the letter? Also, whilst bleeding did you keep an eye
on the expansion tank level?

I have the same problem with my fiat brava. And its all about airlock, but
how to solve it finally - i dont know. At service they said thay removed
all the air from cooling system, but after three days the temperature
jumped to the top again. I hate this car.
