Car overheats, have great coolant levels, with new cooling system installed HELP
What is your question?
I have a 2007 Chysler pacifica 4.0 AWD, I just recently had a new upper hose put on, 2 new thermostats 2 new radiator caps and a new radiator put in it, the garage i took it to, checked everything over i have no leaks, and they even checked the water pump, (not leaking)!! But everytime I have driven to take .y son to school, (5 min. Drive) it instantly pegs to hot starts dinging at me and both Friday and today it shut off on us, and took 30 minutes to cool down and then started again, i checked the engine bay for leaks and inside and on ground and there is no coolant or smell of it checked the oil no sign there either, and the levels are at the specified range for the coolant levels! Please help any ideas?
How long has your 2007 Chrysler Pacifica had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
SOMETIMES - the water pump *impeller* can fail - this would also cause the symptoms you’re describing.
Water pump removal will be required for inspection.
(Combustion leak test is for presence of hydrocarbons in the cooling system)
(Cylinder head / gasket failures do not necessarily induce coolant into engine oil)
Just so you know > Water pump is NOT visible on this engine - partial disassembly of the front of engin IS required for inspection!
Thank you, and yeah I know I had it at the Chysler garage, they replaced everything inner-cooler, radiator, resvoiur cap, hoses, thermostat, heater core. It has cost me almost $3,000 in repairs thus far, and when I contacted them on Friday with the issue they said they didn't know what they could do
Suggest contacting local independent auto repair facility for diagnosis.
Often you’ll find more experienced technicians!
