Open the radiator and make sure you have enough antifreeze...also, when your car is parked and off, do you smell like a hot/musty smell? Thats what a bad radiator smells like......

i dont know where the water pump is located in our cars, but you might have messed it up. if its not pumping water to cool the engine overheating occurs and you are screwed.

You should be able to get it supplemented to the estimate if it happened during your accident. Just take it back and tell them it didn't start until you were rearended and you did run up on a curb....better than paying it out of pocket.

Im not really sure how to describe the smell....open up your radiator and smell it...thats the closest your gonna get to the way it smells....if you can smell that outside the car after its been running, then you have problems.

well it could jus be your lower radiator hoses, but it could be alot of other things. whens the last time you change the coolant? or check the pcv see if it even works, theres alot of things that can attribute to overheating, liek dragging brakes, you should go get it checked out at a shop

Make sure that your radiator fan is working, you may have messed that up and not have a problem with your radiator.
