car making wierd wizzing noise after changing thermostat and coolant temp. sensor
Hi Folks,
I'm kinda at a loss here as to why after changing the thermostat and coolant temp. sensor the car started making a wierd wizzing noise after the car was running for about 5 minutes. It started fine.
As soon as I heard the noise I immediately turned off the car.
A few things...
When I pulled the hose to get to the thermostat and when I pulled the thermostat out I lost coolant, but did add some before starting the car (but I'll admit not as much as I lost). As of right now the resevoir is sitting empty. And coolant is leaking from the thermostat housing. I think I'll need that paper filter thing.
When I did the sensor I had to remove a lot of part to get to it (just like doing a tune-up kind of) but I did put everything back the way it should be.
Any ideas? Luckily I didn't see any smoke or anything dangerous happen, but I am worried that nothing serious occured due to that wizzing noise.
Thanks for your input!
