Coolant Leak Prt. 2 - 04/27/07 06:04 PM

I am starting a new thread cause the last one got a bit off track.

This is my original post:

http://www.grandprix.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=007351;p=1&r=nfx

So I brought it to a mechanic today and he pressurized the cooling system and there where no leaks.

He told me that the thermostat was out and the fan wasn't kicking on when it should have and the car was overheating a small amounts of coolant were coming out of the overflow and getting on the belt and hot engine.

So I am going to get a 180degree thermostat since i have only a CAI. What online store is the best to get this?

Thanks again.

Just go to your local parts store and tell them you want a 180* tstat.

180 degrees is aftermarket right, this isn't stock temp?

Wbody store seems to be cheaper:

At the top of the page, on the banner, it's got a "Links" button, and I've found a few good ones there.

But I do have to recommend ZZP, just by looking at it.
