getting a neon. don' know anything about it. excepts that its dohc

 

ok? Whats the question?

 

hahah i didn't even realize i forgot to ask sorry. i was told that it needs like a waterpump or a freeze plug. the guy wasn't a hundred percent sure. so before i go and just spend money i was wondering if there was a common problem they have with overheating or something like that

 

yah the headgasket's go around 60-100k so check the oil and see if its milky looking

 

headgasket and the timing belt NEEDS to be replaced around 100k. as well as the water pump since its right there. probably the water pump and timing belt.

 

yah lol listen to what neoncrazy said he knows alot about these cars

 

ok thanks guys ill look into it. i really can't do anything with it right now cause the fuy who had it put water in the radiator and its now frozen... but i found out its a plymouth neon expresso. don't know the year, but are these a good model?

 

neon is a neon, plymouth, dodge, sport, rt, acr, highline, expresso only color and trim differences, for the most part. there is a slight difference in suspension too if i remember correctly. but overall it is that same car

 

When he put water in the rad was there ANY coolant in it?

The Expresso is just another model. it was based on the highline model (I would say one of the most common ones) but had the appearence options that were on the 95 Sport models. same suspension as the Highline. and they did come with the option for the DOHC except for the 95 Model year. and was standard on the 98-99 models.

 

it has the dohc which im happy about

and i dont know if theres any coolant but the hoses are frozen solid
