2010 Civic DX Overheating Mystery
My son's 2010 Civic DX-VP has a major issue with overheating during a long drive or anytime it is going faster than about 60. Runs about 2/3 to 3/4 of gauge normally, but tops out when under any load. Must implement mass heater-blow to cool down.

- Originally, we discovered a seam leak on the radiator and replaced it and both hoses.
- The fan blade had also disintegrated and we replaced the unit. Still overheated.
- Replaced the thermostat and the lower ECT.
- Replaced the ECM and had it reprogrammed/updated by Honda dealer.
- All relays are good
- Fans run appropriately
- No water in oil
- No condensation under filler cap
- Coolant pressure test -extremely slow leak down-about one drop/2 to 3 minutes external to engine
- Runs well
- Compression check
