1998 Honda Civic 4 cyl All Wheel Drive
My daughters car overheated - she pulled into an Autozone and one of the guys looked at it and said her reservoir was dry - she needed some coolant - so she bought some and filled it up - 3 days later her car overheated again - this time seriously and quickly.
She pulled into a service station where they told her it was a radiator leak because her tank was dry again they added water and she drove the couple of block home - however - when I drove the car - it was that night and it was very cool and rainy - I didn't have anything on to pull on the engine other than the wipers. I drove at a steady speed of about 30 mph - it took a moment for the engine to warm up and then it went from being cool to midrange fairly quickly - then it went to very high - even quicker - ( never went into the red zone but came a hair off of it) but when I slowed down or stopped at a light it would drop somewhat - I didn't go very far - we have someone who will put in the radiator for her, but, how do we know that is what it is and that it isn't a thermostat or a water pump issue?
