Did they test your radiator before replacing it . D oyou know what caused it to clog up ? Does using another brand of anti-freeze ( not Honda) cause this ?

Re: My car is overheating. plz help!

So the air in the system is caused by a leaking head gasket that can't be detected by the pressure test or the test for CO2 in the coolant or any other test , right ? So I shouldn't bother having the...

Re: My car is overheating. plz help!
