#1 of 6 3.8 cooling system by mps3817 Jul 13, 2006 (1:13 am)
Help I own the 1997 Rag LS and the car is constantly overheating. It is running at the 3/4 mark all the time. The cooling system seems to be clogging. I have flushed it and chagne d the heater core, and radiator twice. Is this a commom occurance on the 3.8 when it hit this mileage?? How can I fix it?

#3 of 6 Seems to be trying to run hot by dderico Dec 14, 2006 (12:32 am)
I have a 01 LS, and lately it seems to be trying to run hot. It runs at the 3/4 line then cools down, then heats right back up again. The fan seems to be running fine. Any suggestions? The car itself is running great. Replies to this message: mps3817 (Dec 14, 2006 1:58 am) dderico (Feb 10, 2007 12:51 am)

Replying to: dderico (Dec 14, 2006 12:32 am) I have none   I had to end of junking the car. It ran great but the overheating could not be corrected. I tried Buick even and could not come up wiht why. I changed everything. Heads radiator heater core, removed thermostat, flushed it out. nly thing my mechanic said it could be is the block breaking down. Please let me know what happens I am curious.

Replying to: mps3817 (Dec 14, 2006 1:58 am) I had the thermostat changed, and that seemed to remedy the problem. Of course there was a bigger problem though. The radiator guy noticed water under the oil cap. Sure enough I seem to be leaking water via the intake manifold into the engine oil. The guy told me I could either rebuild the engine, or get rid of the car. Hate to do it, but guess I'm going to get rid of it this summer. The tech said this is a common problem for Regals and Olds reaching 100,000 miles. Has anyone know of this problem???
