Yesterday was work on cars day.
First, I got the serpentine belt changed. The old one was cracked pretty badly and squealing a tiny bit. While I was doing that, I rotated the water pump by hand. It spun nice and smooth. After that, I drained the coolant and flushed the radiator with the garden hose. It didn't appear to be plugged up at all and after some more driving with it, I don't think it was. I filled it back up, and took it for a spin. In town driving, the coolant temp got up to 200F. Then, I took it on the freeway (65 mph). It dropped down to 190F solid. When I got home I checked out the grill area on the car. First off, the car only has two smaller openings for cooling on the front of the car. Second, behind the plastic mesh is a solid piece of plastic. Its not sealed, but it definitely doesn't let a lot of air in, and the air must go around it to get to the radiator. So, I think this is the main reason that the coolant temps get high at lower speeds. I'll try to get some pictures of this. In any case, the car didn't overheat on the freeway and that is what I was worried about.
Anyway, I still have to do the trans fluid and the door lock. I also forgot one thing. The wiper stalk on the steering column is loose. So loose that if I go over any big bumps in the road, the wiper stalk falls down and turns the wipers on... quite annoying. I'll have to figure something out there to fix that.
