werd. Maybe there's still air in the system from the rad change? Try some water wetter too. Or convert your engine bay into a moving refridgerator or something.

I just had it flushed about 3 weeks ago, and I have changed the thermostat at least 4 times since I've bought the car. I often wondered that about the relays after seeing that TSB about it. Anyway to check that?
The radiator hasn't been changed YET but I'm thinking thats next..=( avg. cost? installed?

Install? Free. Undo upper and lower hoses, undo the 2 nuts the hold the a/c condenser to it, undo the the 4 10mm nuts that hold the rad to the subframe and lower it out. Install is reverse. 10-15 minutes.
