Lots of steam + no heat from heater = water not circulating. First suspect there is usually water pump. Whatever it is, I wouldn't drive it around any more like that until you figure out what it is. Heating the engine until the oil light comes on is a Bad Thing. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
