3475, Overheating Problems! HELP! Posted by Greg, Jun-15-01 12:26 PM
Who here has had overheating problems?? My car has been over heating latley and I don't know why! I replaced the Thermostat, Radiator cap and flushed the system clean! I did a 50/50 mix of water and Antifreeze. Still it seems to overheat! Could it be my water pump?? My car only has 23,000 miles on it :( HELP!

I would say go to the dealer cause you have a 60000 mile warranty on the car so you may as well use it. I say this cause it could be a number of things so a full check up would be a good idea.

yes both fans kick on when it gets hot.....I'm gonna remove the radiator tomorrow and see if it's clogged....other wise it has to be the water pump and I'm taking it in :) Warranty

IF it is under warranty, I would not remove/do anything to it. Take it in. Get your money's worth. Knowing some of the dealerships, they may say that YOU screwed it up when you removed it and they may say YOU FIX IT. Just my .02

It was my head gasket! FIXED that and it runs much better with NO overheating! *relieved* :)
