Engine Cooling problem
2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 21000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
help...my 2005 pt cruiser..gets hot. The dealer put in a fan motor...it still gets hot...they put in a thermostat and flushed the radiator today...it still gets hot. It does not overheat in the morning...only in the afternoon. My drive home is 22 miles....and it does pretty good until I get almost home and then...it gets hot. It goes all the way into the red and I can hear it boil. Help

either a blockage within the system, or the waterpump is failing. They should have flushed the entire cooling system and not just the rad. make sure the thermostat is a dealer part, and they installed it right. (you'd be surprised how many are put in wrong)
