1997 Chrysler Sebring Losing Coolant

Hi there,

Thats a lot of water to be loosing, if you were loosing that internally the car would be running extremely rough if at all, get a cooling system pressure test done first , this will positively locate any external cooling system leaks, start here.

The past three days I've only had to add a splash of water each day (maybe 1 cup at most). However, now I have no heat. The blower works but no heat.

Originally I thought it might be the water pump. Now I think it has to do with the thermostat not opening up.

What do you think?

Hi there,

If you are in doubt it would be a good idea to chance the thermostat, also just check that the heater hoses are both hot to touch with the heater on, you may have a blocked core or a faulty heater tap.

Possible head gasket failure, Is there any steam coming out of exhaust? If thermostat was not opening engine would more than likely be overheating,but that does not explain loss of heat in cabin,unless it's now clogged, Replace thermostat and post us back. What's the temp. gauge reading through all of this issue,hot, cold,normal,or moving around,cold to warm to hot

This does sounds like a blown head gasket. Here is a test that will help you see if the gasket is blown
