Thanks for the info CCA4. I'll definitely give that a try tomorrow. I heard the drain for the radiator is only accessible by removing the front bumper am I correct? On the drivers side?

 

You may be able to pop off the lower corner grille and get to it through there.

 

Okay. Thanks a bunch. Ill try that in the morning

 

That a boy Jeremy...don't bother to wait,just own him

 

He went and did it anyway. Check his "ranking" by his screen name now. To the OP, sorry about the digression - guy was a dickbag but he won't be here causing any problems anymore and there shouldn't be any further straying off your topic.

 

Haha it's cool. Was kinda funny watching

 

I did run it for like 20 mins without the thermostat in, the temperature gauge didn't move one bit

 

UPDATE:

okay, i finished flushing the system out. i ran the car without the thermostat and the car temp didnt heat up at all so i think the water pump is working. I also tested the thermostat in bopiling water and it opened up and closed so the thermostat works. once the water came out clear, i put the thermostat back in and drove it full of water (for testing purposes so i didnt waste 26 dollars wasting the coolant if it is gonna have to be drained again) and the car still overheats. Now im at a loss of what could be wrong. people have been telling me most likely a bad head gasket....... which i hope not. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

If you have a tear between a coolant feed and a cylinder it'll overheat (happened on my wife's Civic). There are test kits available that'll sniff out combustion gases and confirm a bad head gasket. If you've burped the hell out of the system, it might be time to look into that.

 

yea pretty sure it was burped like crazy. If i take a sample of the oil from my car to an only audi shop, they would be able to tell by looking at it?
