Re: Strange engine heating problem (new)
I found this thread a little too late, but I had the exact same problem with the same Brand 180 thermostat (Weir Stat) installed less than a year before.
Result: stuck on the freeway with a overheating engine, 300 miles from home. When I say overheating, I mean in the red zone, with half the coolant flowing out the overflow bottle on the floor.
I also have a 2001 so I immediately thought of the waterpump problem: Wrong, it was a bad thermostat....
