after driving my car for 15mins it starts to over heat....no water on the dip stick so idk what it is i need help asap

 

water? dipstick? you have a dipstick to check your antifreeze?

 

drain all your coolant out, buy a thermostat, put it in..fill it with coolant, bleed the system then report back to us.

 

how much would that cost ?

 

overheating will be caused by just a few things.

1) Bad radiator
2) Air in the coolant lines

Replacing your coolant (along with flushing it... can't hurt) will cost you $10-15. A thermostat is (I believe) $20 or so.

A new radiator will cost you $100 or so at Autozone plus new coolant.

 

ok well i turned on the heat and no heat at all just cool air so i heaerd that if i beed the system it wll be ok and can i use water?

if you had no heat it probably means your thermostat is bad and it needs replacing.

It's also possible you have a leak in your coolant system.

Oh, and you can't just use water. you need to mix it 50/50 with antifreeze. Please get a Chilton or Haynes manual when you next go to autozone or wherever you go to get car stuff.

 

My guess is the thermostat, same thing happened on my mom's car. It only cost 8 bucks for a new thermostat and gasket for her car though. Good luck!

 

it was a air in my coolent system
