9-3 Aero 6 cylinder 2.8 New Water Pump Blues Posted by MaconDave [Email] (#2728) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MaconDave) on Wed, 26 Aug 2020 14:52:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
2007 9-3 Aero 6 cylinder 2.8, Just changed the water pump and serpentine belt, then it was ok , then after 20 miles, the light came on ( it was not running hot) , so I stopped and with the engine running, I removed the reservoir cap, and it gurgled a bit. then I turned it off and had room and added antifreeze.
Then after another 20 miles, it ran hot ( on the gauge) and dumped a lot of antifreeze. So I towed it to the shop. They re-tightened around the thermostat and upper reservoir hoses.refilled the reservoir,
Then the same thing happened again. twice.
Did we not purge the system properly, is there a trick to it?
Is it fatal? I'm just 'shade tree' and could really use some advice.
