I took my 1989 Cadillac Brougham to the shop this morning. I got a call from the technician about 20 minutes ago. He pressure-tested the cooling system and determined the problem was the heater control valve. The repair cost only $132. What a relief! I was envisioning all kinds of apocalyptic scenarios.

| I have a 1990 olds cutlass supreme with about 70K on it and I'm having a cooling system problem. I went on a long road trip, about 1200 miles, and the day after i got back I had trouble starting the car. I drove it for a while on the highway and my low coolant, temp, and service engine light came on. I pulled over and coolant started spewing out of the reservoir. I tried to get myself back home and it died on the way back home. The next day I started the car and I noticed that hot coolant was not cycling back into the radiator so I replaced the thermostat. It started cycling around again so I drove it around town and the low coolant light would turn on for a few minutes and then turn off and over again. I noticed also that at a certain point the air conditioning would stop blowing cold air and I started to smell coolant. When I got home the coolant reservoir was full and coolant was leaking from the overflow hose. I cannot see any other visible leaks from the water pump, thermostat gasket or any where else. I am constantly keeping the coolant level high enough but my low coolant light still keeps coming on. What do I do? | |
