2 weeks ago my car started overheating, mainly when i was using my A/C ...while it did overheat i noticed some jerking in the trans between shifts and just while driving.. I thought this was due to the overheating.
Took it to mechanic (first time using this dumbfu.ck), he says new radiator ($550). Just got car back couple days ago, seemed fine. Now today the overheating is back and now i noticed a harder jerk, i also for the first time saw the infamous "E" flash just for a sec in the instrumental.
Now before i take it back, I want to figure out whats wrong (with your help) so i can tell him how to fix the damn car. I searched and i came up with it either being solenoid or valve body. But i couldnt find anyone with the "E" and the overheating issue. So which one would it most likely be?\
Want to add:
2001 v6
Had all coils/valve cover gaskets/spark plugs replaced about 3 years ago (wow didnt realize it had been that long)
