First question did the 1.6 L engine overheat prior to the repair work or did you notice coolant on the ground. Sounds like you did not get the air out of the engine block during the initial fill. Only took 2 or 3 liters right? If so you now need to remove a small hose at the throttle chamber yes that 11mm outside diameter one and fill again until coolant emerges replace the hose slide the spring clamp back exactly where the hose was imprinted and start car up turn on the heater full hot. It takes about twenty minutes to warm enough for the cooling fans to run Some times driving the car on ramps raises the radatior cap higher than the heater hoses making the air removal easier.

Are you sure it's overheating and not blowing exaust gas into the water jacket? That would make the radiator blow out water too. A blown head gasket might be the cause. A mechanic can put a little device on your radiator to tell if the gas bubbling out is steam or exhaust.

If the engine overheats on an identical time as at a provide up or idle in user-friendly terms: maximum front wheel force vehicles use an electric powered cooling fan motor placed in front or in the back of the radiator. The function of the cooling fan is to advance airflow around the radiator at stops and occasional speeds. The fan is controlled with the help of sensors that alter the engine temperature and extra load which would be placed on the engine. The air con compressor will require the cooling fan to function at idle as long because of the fact the compressor is on. a speedy thank you to verify the cooling fan operation is to instruct on the air conditioner. The cooling fan ought to come on with the air conditioner compressor. some vehicles could have 2 electric powered followers, one is for the radiator and the different is the air conditioner condenser fan. many times the radiator fan is closer to the middle of the radiator. The radiator fan is in charge for engine cooling, and the condenser fan is in charge for increasing air con performance at idle and occasional velocity. in case your motor vehicle does not have an electric powered cooling fan on the radiator it could have a belt pushed fan blade and fan grasp. This fan must be pulling a huge volume of warmth to warm air around the radiator onto the engine. What you opt to be certain with the two fan subject is that there is adequate airflow around the radiator at idle. The radiator is the well-known warmth substitute for the engine, and airflow is important.

there might be a hole in the radiator causing the coolant to leak out and the engine to overheat quickly. Price is around £100 to replace.

You need to make sure your electric fan is turning. A bad head gasket can cause over heating also. Some of those cars make it hard to get anti freeze in without creating an air bubble in the system. You need to get the air out.

I had similar problem with my 1997 Dodge Caravan, and it was a sensor (it's electrical), not to much $, it can be located leaving the fuse box under the hood and runing towards the radiator. A good mechanic will know.

could be as simple as a air bubble in the pipes this will stop the water circulating round your system drain and flush then refill and leave the radiator cap off for a wile then try again hope it works..
