Back in the spring I was diagnosing a problem with my celi overheating. Turns out it was the thermostat getting stuck shut. During the process of checking for symptoms and going through alot of coolant, I must have added too much distilled water to antifreeze mixture because now my bottom radiator hose feels like someone dumped a slushy inside! I didn't notice this until I wasn't getting heat from the vents and my temp gauge showed overheating. I don't think i cracked anything as I don't see oil leaks or fuel anywhere. I went out and bought antifreeze concentrate and used about half of the jug to fill the radiator and reservoir that boiled off though. If I let the car sit for a while, do you suppose the antifreeze will melt the water remaining in the hoses and radiator? -------------------- |
