My car overheated today due to a stuck thermostat and my rad burst. Anyone in the Edmonton area got a decent one on hand I will pick up tonight and pay a reasonable price.

Thanks,
Charlie

:x That sucks! Dude, make sure your block isn't warped/headgasket is still there! Take your thermostat out in the meantime, its only really needed in the winter!

Well before I realized it was happening the engine got very very hot. It still runs, but the last times I started it to limp it into the gas station it sounded like a diesel, just for a second as it started.

I'm hoping I didn't kill my engine.

S'truth hope it's alright. I think I'll be using a megasquirt programmable output to make a buzzer scream at me if temp gets too hot.

Ha HA!!! It occurred to me a little while ago that I'm pretty sure I saved the rad out of my parts car last year.

I'm going to look for it later this afternoon. Crisis hopefully averted.

I had to get one for my RS.. sprung a leak... anyways, Partsource had mine in stock. Maybe they'll have the GS one too. Best O' Luck.

Surely there is an MX3 GS in the edmonton pick-n-pull? Or perhaps 4 cyl MX3/Protege/escort rad will fit?

I am going up to edmonton on Saturday I think, so if there is something in red deer you need brought up let me know

I did in fact have the rad from my 94' parts car in a pile of stuff at my friend's place. It is already installed.

Crisis averted. Thanks everyone for the offers of help.

BTW the GS rad is $415.05 at partsource...ahhh no.

I've never paid over $200 for an mx-3 radiator :shrug:

glad to hear you had a spare... I love having spares of things :mrgreen:
