Q: Overheating problems.
I have a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue. I replaced the water pump new, thermostat new, hosing new, gaskets new, reservoir new, and my car still keeps over heating. It was on for a good 4 hours without over heating while at the garage. After I decided to take it home it started over heating. I don't know what it could possibly be.
My car has 200000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
