PREMATURE WATER PUMP AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE 2002 PT CRUISER. *TR
EVERY TIME I UNPLUG MY BATTERY IT TAKES SOME HOURS OF DRIVING BEFORE THE FAN COMES BACK ON AND THAT CAUSES OVERHEATING BY THE TIME THE CAR'S FAN START WORKING AGAIN. WHEN IT OVER HEAT IT BOILS THE COOLANT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE HEATER ON FULL BLAST IN ORDER TO SUPPRESS THE OVERHEATING. AND THE POWER STEERING HOSE IS ON PART OF THE RADIATOR THAT MAKES IT MELT WHEN THE COOLANT GETS TOO HOT. *TR
I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 PT CRUISER, I WAS STOPPED AND NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT OUT AND WITHIN A MINUTE THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR AFTER THE DAMAGE. *TR
