Just got home from a trip to Switerland and found my son (a new driver) had the car overheat on him. No heat, gauge pinned to the rightand coolant low. Gotta teach him to pay more attention to the gauges!!!
I'm replaceing the part now with a pump from NAPA ~$75. Question is what do I do about the gauge. Is the sensor fried?
Also noticed that the impeller is broken apart, and a piece (about 2/5 of the impeller) is missing. Is thst common? Or do I really start worrying that cooling flow will be restricted?
By the way, had the good fortune to rent a Mondeo (a wagon) while in Switzerland. Couldn't really play with it much, but still fun to compare. I'll post more later if anyone's interested.
Thanks
