Yes the dealer did make me mad, I'm just glad I found this board.

So I had a Mazda dealer tell me I needed a head gasket on my Miata and a Mercedes dealer tell me I need a head gasket and a valve job on my Mercedes. Neither car needed those things!!!!! Amazing..........

Oh - I convinced Enrique to give me a new radiator even though he said I did not need one. I felt if I got a new water pump and thermostat and then had a 16 year old radiator, that probably was not the smartest thing. Even if the radiator was working fine at the moment. It's supposed to be a hot summer.

Thanks again EVERYONE!!
