Before I take my Baby to the mechanic:
I replaced the thermostat, and bled the air out of te system at the radiator and at the thermostat housing and it is still overhaeting while the radiator is still cool.
Questions:
When bleeding at the thermostat housing, after the air has come out, should there be coolant coming out, indicating that there is no more air in the system? (not happening in my case)
Should I now resign myself to replace the water pump?
My problem is that I don't have the appropriate mechanics tools! If The sucker needs to be replace, Iwill have to sell my house, my girlfriend and my sister to pay the mechanic to do the job.
Tell me it isn't so...
... I like my house!
