Challenger SXT V6, 3.6L Penstan

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,952 miles

Cheap plastic OEM part is used as an engine COOLER that malfunctions every 2 years. When that happens, coolant leaks and gets mixed with engine oil. Resulting in replacing the cheap plastic cooler, changing motor oil, and adding coolant. If this problem happens, your car will heat up and might blow a head gasket, or worse, ruin your engine completely if you drive it while great meter is top. If this happens to you, and your car heat meter rise up, park, then turn on max heating from AC to bleed heat from the engine then turn off the car. After several hours of cooling, return to your car add coolant or pure water and drive to the nearest mechanic to replace the engine cooler cheap plastic part. And keep your eyes on the heat gauge.
