Hi, last week i got a new timing gasket, thermostat, and water pump. On the way home the heat needle gauge was going up and down, heat going semi-cold then hot.
So i took it back in and the mechanic said they cannot do much about air in the coolant line. He said it might need a head gasket, and to keep an eye on my coolant level.
Well today on the way home from work, i heard a "POP" , smelled antifreeze, saw smoke behind me. When i got home i popped the hood and the lid on the antifreeze resevoir popped open and must of squirted coolant all over my engine.
Now before i heard this "POP" while driving i lost heat and the needle gauge went to red H, then back to middle, then i had heat again.
So looks like i am making another appt. and having to find a ride again.
Any techs know something my mechanic doesn't?
