Hey Guys,
Last night my car overheated in about 5 mins from starting it up after work, i had to take it over to the pits 2 weeks ago so i took it to a mechanic before it went to check over it, the guy said my radiator was leaking so he changed it ( i also changed my termostate 2 weeks before that because it was getting stuck) they also said my leads were getting old and were occasionally miss firing, so i changed them the other day, now this happened so i took it back to see what they thought it was. Got a call a apparently water is getting in through my heads in to my cylinder and Im loosing all my coolant through there. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? i would have thought is would have just been the gasket? Any help would be great. Oh and its a 3.8 ecotec in a VX Series II Wagon
Cheers
