Engine Overheating

Hey everyone,

I replaced the radiator and upper/lower hoses 5 days ago and drove around without any problems. Today the hose that attaches to the bottom of the throttle body and connects near the egr tube broke. I replaced the hose but now the temperature gauge needle goes to H. I don't know why that would be if I only replaced the small hose under the throttle body.

Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone.

Air enters the cooling system as coolant leaks out.

An air bubble is causing over heating.

you need to raise the front of the car about a foot.

Remove the radiator cap.

Add coolant.

Run the car for about half an hour . Blip the throttle
occasionally.

Add coolant as needed.
