I drive a 1999 3.5 Chrysler LHS with 215,000km The water pump went and had it changed. After driving was low. One litre of Old type green antifreeze was added to the new pink antifreeze. Began to overheat speradically. could not find reason. Overheated into red zone and alarm went. Shut off car imediately. Looked under hood, all was well. After no more than a minute I turned on ignition and the temp was normal. Confused I thought the guage must be shorted out. Fan seemed to be kicking on and of ok. Ran car for about 10 miles cracked plastic tank on side of rad. Took to chrysler replaced rad $$$$ adding up(found stuff in rad). Ran again and was overheating again. Changed thermostat. Overheated again. Puzzled we thought the pump might have plugged with slime. Took it off but was clear. Flushed rad and engine Seperately. Still overheating.???? Help please
