Overheating issues!!! Help please :)
Hello,
Ok so yesterday on my way home from work i noticed that the thermostat was at about 75%. In which it is usually at 55%. It started to shoot up to about 90% and that is when i turned my heater on and then it went back down. After about 3 miles it slowly started to go up again. After stopping at a gas station and looking at the antifreeze i noticed that there wasn't much if any. I put almost a full gallon or container in and it didn't seem to help. I drove another 2 miles with it going up and down in which i met up with a friend. After about 3 hours i ended up going home. The thermostat did not go above 40%. I have never seen it that low and on my way to work today the same thing. Not above 40%. Could it be that the coolant has just been too low. I replaced the water pump not too long ago, i would say maybe two to three months ago. Thank you for the comments in advance.
