Gosh. WIsh you were more local. It'd just about let you borrow my car while you got yours fixed- like what I did with my brother when his LIM went! There aren't any cars you can borrow or anything? :( I'd just hate to see something bad happen to your bonne! (and have it cost you more $$ to fix) A good shop should be able to have your car done in just one day really.

Nope, there'* no-one I can borrow a car from. I wish there was also. So for now, I have to drive it until I can get the green to fix it.

OMG Leslie...I know how you feel, but understand that if you are getting coolant mixed with your oil, you are driving a ticking time bomb. I didn't have the cash when I changed mine out, but I rationalized that spending the $$ to fix it was cheaper than letting it go and ruining the engine.

I hitched a ride to work with a co-worker and had the kids go to school with a neighbor. As for the money...I didn't pay a couple of bills that month. I figured the utility companies could wait and were cheaper interest than a credit card.

Oddness, let me tell you. So no more coolant loss. It'* weird, the car is fine. I don't get it. The oil pressure is still at 120 while driving but other than that, my coolant has been fine. So I think I'm gonna wait until I get my tax money and flush the system, and change the LIM just so I don't have to worry about it. The mechanic says that he thinks I had a air pocket somewhere in the system and thats why I lost coolant. Who knows, if it starts losing it again, then I'll change the LIM a.*.a.p., but until then it'* going to wait until tax time.

so if the OP gauge is at 120 the sender has prolly failed... when they fail they default to the highest reading

its not always at 120, it still moves around....

ahhh ok....have you had the mechanical OP gauge on the car yet......or did i miss that somewhere
