1992 Plymouth Voyager mileage: 164,000. Hey guys, need your help. I have been stiffed for $500.00 bucks. The engine has been running hot; temperature gauge on hot, blowing cool air. First it was "running low on oil; tightened timing belt. Week later same problem: then my so-called mechanic installed a thermostat. Couple of days later; same problem: this time "needed" a new radiator cause it was leaking antifreeze. Two days later same problem. This time they want to stiff me for 350.00 for a "head gasket”, Can't anyone, tell me what is wrong with it? Need a second opinion. HELP!

If your car is losing coolant, which causes it to run hot, it must be determined where the coolant is going. It may be an external leak (hoses, water pump, etc.) Or an internal leak (head gaskets, cracked head). Once determining the cause, you can proceed with the cure.
