What was the problem?
Where to start...they replaced thermostat, battery, water pump, hoses, and alternator...I think that was everything, there may have been more...lol. As it would not stop over heating within a few minutes of driving, after each of those things being replaced. They did a pressure test twice and all was good. Three mechanics later and there is a timing belt that was off, needed replacing that was not allowing the alternator to put out the right amount of voltage or whatever..this is Sally answering this. The last mechanic did a test on the alternator and what it was putting out and found the problem..then it was replaced and all was good. So much of the engine is new now, why get rid of it...lol. The shop (Canadian Tire) did not charge us for those parts, put it all through warranty, discounted the labour we were charged because it took them so long to repair and none of the replaced parts were the problem except this timing belt (I think it is called a timing belt) I am sure you all will know. If it was not for the cost of the rental car, we would have gotten out rather cheap. Vacation was great, just a bit more expensive.
