Pray that you have no problems from the corrosion that was more than likely caused by using plain water. Antifreeze does more than just protect from freezing and overheating. It also acts as a lubricant for the water pump, and prevents corrosion. Drain all the water out, replace the thermostat, and pour in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Bleed all air from the system. -------- +1. the system does not have to be bleed though. S-series will bleed themselves. Also replace your Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor while your in there. thermostat is 195F and 20 bucks at the dealer
