what now???
i posted a few days ago about my over heating problem. turns out it's a water pump or so said the mechanic.
got it back today with a "it's good to go, problems fixed."
that costed me (with tax) 415.29$
well, drove around a little today..temp is still going past 195. not much past but it should stay at 195, right??
i'm guessing..again..i just wasted 400$ and nothing has been fixed.
i also looked around a little about Dex-Cool. well, apparently the only cooolant that can and is recommended to use is dexcool. but what does dexcool do??? IT MESSES YOUR CAR UP!
"Customers complain that DEX-COOL forms a sludge-like substance that clogs their vehicles' cooling systems causing them to overheat, and that DEX-COOL corrodes all parts of the engine it comes in contact with including the heater core, water pump, hoses, cap, upper and lower intake manifold, thermostat, and engine block."
had the "sludge-like" substance.
had the over heating.
just put a new engine in it about a year ago.
replaced the water pump.
replaced thermostat.
still have the same problem.
is anyone else experiencing this too??
also, someone replied to my last post about converting to the green coolant? what exactly do you mean? supposivly dexcool (orange coolant) is the only one to use. or so says the owners manual.
