Wish I had known about the no coolant part earlier! Towed the LX back to the mechanic who replaced my steering rack. He called today to say that all the coolant had leaked out, top of radiator is melted and engine over heated. Says I need to replace the engine and radiator and it will cost me $8k! I had no previous troubles and radiator/coolant were in good condition. I'm wondering if they took of some hose and forgot to clip it back properly...all happened within 15 mins of picking the car from the shop. Will go visit him tomorrow... Wondering if there is any way to hold them liableNo cabin heat is sign of low or no coolant. Engine dying after no cabin heat. May be sign of overheating engine.
Possible to look for:
Some remove oil cooler, when R&R R&P.
Possible, didn't top coolant system properly. Or oil cooler water hose not secured properly.
