I replaced the radiator with a spare used one that i had from my parts car, still same problem. I have also replaced the thermostat and at the moment i cant afford to put $10 of antifreeze into my car every day so ive been just using water
I believe your answer has been discovered in your own words-you have to "add water" correct? If so, you'll need to determine the source of the water loss-if you do not see liquid on the ground then it is most likely going out the tail pipe. Head gasket or cracked head???????????? Good luck
