overheat on the highway - is my motor dead

[dahicori]

hahaha , yes , France still is one of the best countries to get a good D24.

You re 100% right, lessons can be learned from every situation.

About having a good mechanic working on the car : the guy who's working at the garage where the car currenty sit told me one minute ago he quit the idea of doing anything on my poor volvo.

He was about to start the car when he noticed smoke getting out of the hood.
doesn't want to see his garage set on fire he said, which I can understand. We're in the middle of august and he has something else to do than trying to help out a guy with is junk car.

Now, I dont want to start an arson. What happened? You know my harness is in very poor condition. Did the steam corrode the wires? What can I do to avoid a fire, clean all the wire, disconnect everything apart from the starter and the pump solenoid?

This is getting complicated

But I have to run the HG test....
