Euroauto:
yes the cooling system was oppened! the radiator was taken out, so it was disconnected from the water pump housing where the thermostat resides and that's what I think is the problem? when I picked up the car yesterday I asked the guy if they had put coolant in the radiator and he said that only water.....well it seems they did not put enough water, so on the way back home I stopped and put antifreeze in it when I noticed that the engine was running hot. but the problems persists...
I'm concerned now...and won't run the engine until you send me more advice on what to do...
thanks for your response!
