Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out.
Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I **may** need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem.
Sometimes I have to look up some information so it may take a moment to respond. I appreciate your patience.
The system will give you an automated phone call offer to speak to one of us on the phone **. It is optional.** Some folks prefer to talk on the phone. If you don’t, please ignore it as I cannot control the offer from popping up.
There is either air trapped in the system or the radiator is blocked up. I'm not sure why the technician that installed those parts is not fixing this for free but you'll need to bleed the air out of the system. If all the air is out and it's still overheating then you'll need to check the temperature on the radiator to see if one side of it is much cooler than the other. If that's the case then your radiator is blocked up.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
