I must explain one thing I have just rememberd.
two months ago both alternator belts broke ( they were bad quality ) and of course the water pump stoped and the temp went high.
I stoped the car inmediately and open the water tank cap to let the pressure go out. The water temp came down but I dont Know if that caused any problem related with the one I have now
