I have a 2005 honda civic with 7000 miles.I have recently replaced all the hoses and the thermestat the radiator is fine and nothing seems to be leaking but my car still overheats. It'll take about an hour on the interstate going about 70 mph before it starts then when I begin to slow down the temp. With also go down and it never overheats when i'm just driving around town what could be wrong?

Hi bsktbll14dan,

I guess the radiator is not fine. It should be partially clogged and not providing sufficient cooling at high speeds as the heat generated is not being dispersed by the radiator fast enough.

Get the radiator serviced.
