Go to a good mechanic, be prepared for bad news.

I would also advize not to drive it. Have it towed to a repair shop.

Take it back to the dealership you got it from, and make them fix it. They knew it had "Bad News" if it has only been 5 days.

To echo the posts above, don't drive it, have it hauled back to where you bought it, and have them make it right.

Depending on the mileage, and $'s paid and where it was bought from, it could well end up being a case of buyer beware unfortunately.

it might just be a head gasket, and if you don't have recourse with the vender, PM Bob in Texas, he has a 2.2 posted on the site for sale, he may still have that as a solutuion
