Well My car had been over heating alot and i took it to our mechanic and he said it was a hole in the manifold or some crap like that and he said it would be 470 to fix! But now the water hasnt been leaking out lately but the damn temp is still goin up and now it is making a scratching noise in the air conditioner!!!!!!!!! The car is a big POS and i hate it ever since i got it , its just cost and arm and a leg to fix it.

This will be the second time in less than a year my car has had the same problem with oil leaking into the coolant. My ex warranty did not cover flushing the system the first time but my car is there again at the dealership for repeat repair. They flushed it this time and wanting me to test it out. They are having a hard time figuring out... Oh the the knocking from under the hood. According to the dealership.. that was a normal sound after they replaced 1700 worth of engine parts last year. I wont buy a GM car again.. Am going back to Honda...

A known issue for my vehicle. Wish I knew about it when I purchased the car. I am one of the lucky ones that didn't have engine damage done.
I suggest when you get your intake manifold gasket repaired that you also do the thermostat and a complete coolant flush since the engine will be opened up anyways.
