Ok, here is the problem. a few weeks ago a slight knocking sound and a soft howl started. I had no other issues as for as I could tell. And checked and replaced my fluids ever 3 to 4 months.
My room mates said I should take it in for a repairs directly to the Saturn Dealer here in San Jose Ca.
1st call , within the first hour after dropping my car off. I was called and told my Water pump needed replacement. And my Radiator should be replaced soon. I aproved the Waterpump replacement. And said I'll have to wait for the Radiator.
2nd, 2 hours later, I was called and told my Thermostat was not letting water in. (? I should have asked ??) and it had to be replaced. I approved.
3rd call next day. My radiator and hoses had to be replaced. And my Radiator was blocked. After a few hours of biting this and canceling my planned vacation plans. I put up the money and said Sure.
4th call, It was ready and running great! it would be 1420 dollars.. Cough.. Choke. Ok. but a quick note for future repairs. Replace the Head Gasket, Cylinder head, Cam Cover Gasket (2300 dollars ???)
Today I just picked up the car. Started up nice and smooth. No clouds like I was told to expect. No odd rocks or such. I signed and drove off.
Within 3 miles my car overheated. flashing lights, and the heat gauge was pegged.
I pulled over
