Hello,
New to the forum and hate to be looking for a new engine already. I just picked up the car on New Years Eve, drove it 250 miles to my house and then all hell broke loose. The idiot I bought it from aparently didn't realize you had to put coolant in the entire system (the resevoir bottle was green so I had no reason to doubt the rest of the system was fine). Since it was 50* when I drove it home there were no problems. But when the temps dipped into the teens, the expansion of the water has completely destroyed the engine.
Does anybody have a line on a V6 engine? It is from a 2000 with manual transmission.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Ryan
