Ok today letting my turbo cool down i noticed my car running hot. I popped the hood and the antifreeze container thing was almost full i let the car cool down and the antifreeze was low in the radiator (no leaks nothing). When we did my rebuild my stupid mechanic didnt get a new thermostat but he got a new water pump so i know its not the water pump. So do you think the thermostat is my problem or is it something else. it has been fine for aobut 2 months until now. thanks

 

Thermostat's are cheap, replace it anyway. If it doesn't fix it, research more.

 

it could be. You want to check that out. Since the water pump has already been changed. But the car will run hot regardless you said you were turbo right? It blocks the radiator, so your car will run a little hotter then normal.

 

no i have had the turbo for aobut 5 months and have never had problems and it ran the same before the turbo

 

another quick ? should i get an aftermarket thermostat or just a oem one?
