Just bought a Thundercat, problems with radiator

[crsturmer]

Hi,

I just bought a 1997 Thundercat from a dealer a week ago, and after riding it a few times I realised that the water temperature gauge never moved. So I checked the radiator level and there was no coulant in it!?!

Does anyone have any ideas what sort of damage I could have done? Luckily both times I rode it previously were cold days, so I hope the engine didn't overheat too much.

Needless to say I'm gonna go nuts at the dealer!!

And I just realised I shouldn't have posted this in the FAQ section, sorry!!!

Erm.. I moved the post, which'd be why it's now in general. At least he noticed it was in FAQ, which is a load better than most.

Was the coolant system completely empty? Hopefully there was some going around, but not enough to cover the tempreture probe.

Sorry I thought he said should have posted it in FAQ.

Hi

Difficult to say. Potentially blown head gasket, warped head, trashed barrels, wrecked water pump, etc. However if this had happened I would expect you to have noticed some problems.

Hopefully it was just a bit low on coolant.

All the best
