"and yes, it could well be related to the work that was done on the vehicle.

tip for you: when people respond with questions to clarify the situation, and to try and help you out, please provide an answer. Ie: does the radiator fan come on at all? ) Or more specifically - does the fan come on when it is sitting there and the temp gauge shows it is near over-temp) - and what does the digital temp readout say?"


Wow. And still no answers from the OP after being ask politely by whopper. Sorry, but I don't think you'll find any more help here. Best bet is to just take it somewhere and get it fixed.

Fwiw. Those pics don't show anything unusual. Well, other than the bungee cord.
So you've owned this car how long? And just now seeing that bungee cord. Guessing you don't check the oil level very often.

 

understood

sarcasm not necessary

 

"found a bungee cord" what the heck does that mean? That is not sarcasm.

If you take a car to a shop for repairs and it is not right; take it back! Also not sarcasm.

Do you ever look under the hood? Not sarcasm.

It does not take a MECHANIC to open the hood occasionally, and look at things. Not sarcasm.

 

after all that she deleted the thread - m'am we tried to help - we really did - thread closed.
