I just bought a 2004 PT cruiser from.a guy. A guy I know reccomended it. It has 140.000 miles. Drove fine 5 miles to my house. Drove fine a week later 3 miles to Walmart when I got tag and insurance on it. Drove it about five miles today with a lot of cutting it off and then back on and it ran hot.. A little over the middle.. There was a bubbly noise and when I popped the hood I noticed a lot of oil in the coolant reserior. What could this be? Also Shows No fuse when cranked on the dash and the radio, power locks and ac dont work

    Check the IOD fuse. Are you sure it's oil in the coolant or that it's just never been changed and looks nasty?

    You now own a 2004 PT piece of junk. That is one of the few cars I'd never buy used as they have a lot of problems.

    The guy that recommended it to you the previous owner of that POS?! Those vehicles have a ton of problems even with less miles on the odometer! Get rid of the car and the "friend"!

    You looked at it well before you bought it.

    It is a heap with a blown head gasket.

    Oil in the coolant reservoir means it probably blew a head gasket. You should have had a mechanic look at the car before buying it.
