noticed my car has been running a little hot lately, so i popped the hood and i could hear the coolant cooking in the tube
 , now i got three questions...1, i guess my thermostat is the cause, right? 2, does it matter that the coolant was cooking ? like leaving lime residue ow something? 3, anyone knows how much a new one would run? This post has been edited by Predator: Apr 21, 2006 - 10:38 AM --------------------  |

nah the heat is going strong, but i just took it for a ride and i noticed it's got fluctuations
 in the temperature, so it seems it's still working but it first opens too little and when it gets hot enough it opens too much and keeps on going back and forth like that
