radiator blown few questions
Hello everyone,
A few quick questions, I was on the way to work this morning which is about a three mile drive. Today it was extremely cold outside. I was about a mile away from work and there was no heat coming out and i noticed that the temp gauge was creeping up. I stopped at a stop sign steam started coming out from the hood and belts started slipping when fluid started getting all over the pulleys.
I pulled over turned the car off and opened the hood, could see radiator fluid all over the motor.
I guess my question is I feel that there was probably more water then coolant in the radiator which is my fault for not flushing when i bought the car. But the question is do you think the motor is toasted.
And besides buying a new radiator what do you think my next steps are.
Thanks
Jerad
