Coolant/Overheat Issue... HELP!!!
Ok, so i recently got my car back from the shop after the front end was rebuilt after a.... well ok lets face it, massive accident.
So here it is, when i drive the car, well drove until this started happening, sometimes at random times, the "add coolant" light will buzz and my temps will skyrocket up into the stratosphere but after about, 20 seconds, the light will go off and the temp gauge will drop back to normal operating temp. It did this two times at first, and im pretty sure it was caused by air pockets in the system. But when i went to bleed the system of air, ie cap off the engine pour in coolant and run it, it just sucked up coolant and didnt get rid of the air pockets, and when the car is shut off, you can hear the coolant gurgling around in the engine.
So, thus is my problem, and its getting annoying, and i need to figure out what to do, and i want to drive my car a little bit before i have to put her away for the winter months.
