Greetings, I will put in the background, I have a Pontiac G3 2009 with 1.6L Ecotec engine, and I blew the two radiator hoses, the input and output the second about a month ago, so the engine had a slight antifreeze smell, which increased prior to bursting hoses, heated a few times, but that little warrior endured, still powerful, because of its size.
I had a couple of days with the start of a somewhat strange, as it lit up and rattled with the heat slightly and slightly higher temperature of l, emitted the odor of alticongelante and I thought it was waste antifreeze and as wash until you change the oil to prevent moisture, I did not give much importance.
This morning the check engine lit, but I did not notice anything unusual as I left, reaching the target is heated much the engine and began to rattle, had not checked the temperature, until I noticed the power loss and engine knock very lightweight.
I open the hood and antifreeze missing (most of the recovery tank),: S, hence s waited cooled reheated, so I stopped, he had a jug of water and poured it, filled the tank, waited a time for it to cool, hence continue my path and turned to heat, it was all down so I came with the car off.
Arriving home, I checked the tank and the water was pure, he had thrown, antifreeze, had not moved, I suspected it was the thermostat.
DashCommand scanner got the iPod and I threw the code P00B7 Low Engine Coolant Flow / Performance controlled by Powertrain - Fuel and Air Metering - ISO / SAE Controlled
I decided to take ACDelco service center, I'm still leaning toward the thermostat, but said they have an obligation to the DX.
I showed what traáia, but I have little doubt what will be found this error.
I will appreciate comments and opinions of what might be, I like to know, to pay just enough, thanks for the attention.
