    Hello. Just a quick question again since cars aren't really my area....

    Car was toodling along fine, until it started "chugging" a little bit when stopped at lights. Then it began doing it when accelerating. Now its overheating after a few minutes of driving. Plus the heating seems to have gone.

    I'm thinking there something wrong with the radiator, what do you think?




    thank you for reading

    Car running badly, no heater -> probably no water in cooling system.

    Let it cool down, add water and hope that your engine hasn't been destroyed.

    Find reason for loss of water & repair (or get mechanic)
