No heat and cars overheating.
Ok, Im borrowing my friends G5 Pursuit. I think its an 06. Well driving up a hill today, I saw the engine temp light come on. Its been a bad winter here. And just before that (maybe 3 hours) we slid into a little snow bank. Theres no damage or anything, just wondering if that would be the cause for no heat and the engine temp. I've been noticing the the fans were still running while the car was off to keep it cooler. I havent seen the temp light come back on yet, but still there is no heat. The car used to heat up so fast. Any idea's? I do have to make a 200 km drive back home and I dont want this car dying on me as its still under warrenty.
Thanks

Re: No heat and cars overheating.
Looking under the car, I see the coolant is leaking. The Drivers side rad mount on the bottom is bent and therefor the rad isnt sitting properly. It looks like its just a plate that connects from the subframe to the rad support mount. But whatever the problem, its a slow leak.

Re: No heat and cars overheating.
Pulled out the rad to find out the cheap plastic part is cracked. Cant be welded, looks like it needs a whole new rad. What a POS.

Take it to a radiator shop and see if they can replace the broken tank. If its under warrenty shouldnt they tow it and fix it for free? If you start taking it all apart doesnt that mess up the warrenty? This sounds more like an operator malfunction than the car being a POS, no offense. Good luck, straighten out anything you bent or the next radiator will probably crack too. |
