car heating problem

Asked by shivamyadav Jun 30, 2016 at 05:59 AM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car is heated up i checked whether the fan was
working but it was alright  then i checked radiators
inlet and outlet , the filler cap on top was hot but
when i checked at the bottom hose it was cool
then i thought their might be radiator choke
problem ,when i showed it to mechanic he opened
the radiator but it was found absolutely fine. So he
bluntly said there might be engine gasket burnt.
But  i dont think so as most probable sign of burnt
gasket is knocking which i never encountered. So
please suggest what might be the problem?
