Re: 02 745 overheating

Take your car to a certified mechanic that can do a coolant dye test to see where the problem is exactly and ask for that kind of test this is a good test but if I were you leave this one for last.. Air could be building up from the inside of the engine when running and entering through the coolant passages causing coolant to overflow from the cap. Check your oil see if coolant is mixing if the previous owner or someone else drove the car and overheated it this could warp the block/heads, blow a gasket maybe crack the cylinder head. Iron blocks could resist warpage longer than aluminun. Do a compression TEST. Oh yea F**K the dealer
