Good to hear you got your HHR back and it's running fine again! Keep us updated on the sloshin!

We know good design when we see it

Fantastic! Glad you got your car back. Hopefully you won't have any more heating up especially in this TX heat.

I can report that the cooling system is working much better. When I got in to make the commute home from work the outside temp was reading 110. That's Texas and concrete for you. The coolant temp never went over 201 over my 20-25 minute drive. I'm very happy with that. I know it can do a little better. While CJ was waiting with me on Moday for the tow truck his HHR was idling in the afternoon heat and the temp was a steady 192. But like everything on his car it's been messed with, I think he's used water wetter or something like that. I guess I know what I'm getting next time I'm at the parts store.

Well- hopefully all's well with your ride (finally!). I'll 2nd for the 'water wetter'... added some a couple days ago and my avg temp's are around 192-194* AT SPEED!! Not a bad investment of $8. I used the RedLine version- due to using it previously (it's superior in my mind) but I did notice Prestone (I think) has a similar additive out as well ($12). Although I'm sure both products are similar (CJ's running the 'other' product), I personally can vouge for RedLines performance . Purchase EITHER one a.s.a.p.- you won't believe how good it works!

Overheating in cars makes your head overheat as well Leaking coolants is one of the symptoms of having a bad heater core. That's what I've known with admin spam link edit, I think it's true to all. The best solution is to replace it. If it's still within the warranty, check on your dealer. If not, find a good one.
