The ad for the blue 2000 5-speed that I bought a couple of years ago said that there was an overheating problem, ever since the water pump was changed. Because of the overheating the car hadn't been driven in about 2 years.I got it to start and then saw that the coolant reservoir was empty. I put in about 6 liters of ionized water to fill it. No leaks visible. ??? Decided to take a chance and bought the car at a couple of thousand dollars under the going price. After the short drive home, where the temperature stayed right in the middle of the gauge, I checked the reservoir again and had to add another couple of liters of water! I figure the guy filled the reservoir after changing the water pump and drove it without bleeding or refilling not realizing that all those pipes to the front radiators and back again had to fill up with coolant.
The car is still running fine.
