[QUOTE="Avenging Angel, post: 2574373, member: 4125"] Car: 2001 Cobra Problem: Car overheated going to work. AC stop blowing cool air & then I saw that the temp guage was right by the red tick mark, antifreeze was silling out around the cap. I took the car to a general mechanic shop. They replaced the thermostat, refilled my anti-freeze & I drove off. Not two miles down the road, same thing happened. Turns out there was a hole in the radiator. Replaced the radiator. Refilled the antifreeze. Thermostat: NEW Radiator: NEW Checked the water pump: OK Checked the Fan: OK Drove it 50+ miles home (No Problem) Drove 30+ miles to work & lunch (No Problem) Drove 15 miles home: AC cuts out again, looked at the temp guage & it is rising. Heading towards the red tick mark again. Shut the AC Off, turn the heat on to full blast. The temp guage started to drop, back to normal. Seems like the thermostat is sticking & not allowing water to flow until it gets to the point where it is almost over heating. No anti-freeze is spilling / leaking out. I can drive for 2-3 miles before I have to turn the AC off, turn the heat to full blast. Any ideas what it could be? Is there a way in 01 Cobra's for the thermostat to be installed upside down? A bad new thermostat? Keep in mind: Thermostat: NEW Radiator: NEW Checked the water pump: OK Checked the Fan: OK [/QUOTE]
