radiator exploded/coolant spewed over motor/car start drives then dies
hey guys wondered if you can give me some insight on the possible problem. i overfilled the overflow tank for the radiator. i got in a wreck a few months prior and knew i had a small crack in my radiator. well when i overfilled this overflow tank it under the pressure it blew a gigantic hole in the radiator while driving. this spewed water and coolant all over my motor and i had to pull over cause the engine stopped. now when i drive (after 10-15mins) the motor will cut off. ill have to pull over and wait about 15-20 minutes before it will start again and allow for another 15mins or so of driving time and again will cut off.
what do you think the problem is? i have replaced the car with a new radiator and new thermostat.
cliffs:
-radiator exploxed spewing coolant all over motor and bay whil driving
-car runs and drives but turns off after 15 mins
-radiator/themostat replaced
-car does not overheat
thanks!
