Guidance

[Brniidgirl]

I love you guys! The few things I have done On my 05 I couldn't have done without you Now I'm in over my head and would like any direction to a good video etc

Short story (for a girl that's more difficult than the water pump is gonna be )
Heater started blowing cold, instant overheat. I flushed my radiator, ran a cleaner thru then flushed again. Good for a day and symptoms returned. Changed my thermostat and was good for a day and When all of a sudden while I was warming her up before work a HUGE puddle of water in approx 5 minutes time. It's not the elbows I replaced them last summer, I checked the plug just in case I didn't tighten it all the way, this is my best guess. And...yes I replaced the Dexcool I'm sure I'll get grief ;oP

Let me start by saying, I love you too!

It could likely be your coolant elbows if you overheated the motor. That much heat is not good on the plastic.

Love is in the air.


Did you bleed the cooling system after you did the repairs?

[Brniidgirl]

Yes bled it no gurgles. I will check the elbows tomorrow that would be a sweet treat if it turns out that easy

Well, half way there! Pulled the belt too soon so I had to reinstall to get the pulley off the water pump first but after that went pretty smooth. Two bolts on the power steering, removed the pulley below the water pump to reach that side, have more cleaning to do removing the remaining gasket. All install from here, very grateful to have the forum for guidance, took me 10 times longer than most of you but it feels good to finish it on my own ).
