Well my Daewoo broke down tonite. Bellowed smoke antifreeze spilled all over the street. I limped it home as it overheated 2 times (getting home on 2 quarts or water), by the time i got home it was smoking and gauge on H. Inspecting the Thermostat housing split in half. From what i get this is a common thing that happens on the Lanos. I just had the brake lines replaced how did they not notice this?
Anyway I am seeking help. Seems to be a simple repair 2 bolts holding the housing to the engine and 2 hoses to remove. The thermostat fell out (while removing bags i tied around to make it home) is the thermostat likely still ok? Do i have to bleed the cooling system (thanks to eric i know how to) or can i just add more antifreeze to the resivor (no rad cap) and just run the engine to cycle it through? Also Anything else i should check/replace due to the few seconds it overheated (let it cool down for 5 minutes before starting).

got car back but due to snow storm couldn’t verify they replaced the PCV hose. I was the Driver’s side not passenger side. Mistake on my part.
Here is the picture of the replaced PCV Hose:
Any idea what kind of hose this is? There is a kink in it (you can tell if you look closely) will this kink have a negitive impact? its not COMPLETE blocked by the kink but IS restricted.
whats the hose on there now? Shop put it on there and surprisingly they didnt charge for it. Didnt really answer me on if the kink will have a negitive impact
Well so far so good the car seems to be running like a champ 🙂 i check the Coolant and it is still at the MAX mark so that’s a good sign. No bog down no rough idle no violent vibration so ill keep you posted.
