2002 Civic overheating when stopped.
#11
I think he mentioned something about putting in a new thermostat when he put in the new water pump, replaced the timing belt and fixed my exhaust system.
He's got a heavy Spanish accent, so sometimes it's hard to understand what he says.
I still haven't been able to understand his three signs that it's a head gasket problem!
I'll mention putting in a new thermostat Monday. Thanks for all the advice!

He said he already put in the new thermostat. When he started working on the car, he saw a bunch of green on the radiator. He investigated further, and he said it was also leaking coolant from the radiator, and all the damage was coming from corrosion at the bottom of the radiator. He told me the radiator could go anytime, and because the damage is on the bottom of it, I'd lose all my coolant when it collapsed. He said he'd do both jobs for $325 cash, so I gave him the okay.
He showed me the old radiator when I picked the car up, and the damage was on both sides of the radiator, encompassing about five or six vertical lines, so I guess I did the right thing.
