hi, I own a 2007 Chevrolet Lumina LTZ 3.6 v6.
Today morning, driving after some 5 miles, it started giving overheat warning. After some inspection i figured out following things..
1. Low coolant.
2. A pipe ( kinda hose pipe -which, seems to be airtight- from radiator to engine was fell open from radiator side). what I understood that it's a pass way for coolant from radiator to engine.. which somehow fell open and all the coolant spilled/drained..
I tried fixing it back and added coolant till instructed level.. yet my car is showing overheating in just 10 minutes ( stationary but A/c on).
Addition to that i noticed that A/c heater too isn't working, it's only blowing cold air .... could all of above be a serious issue or it just needed a cleaning/flushing as whole mechanism was out of liquid for some time and needs time settle with coolant..??
