Overheating after Timing Chain & Components replacement

[NatalieF]

Hello,

I just got the timing chain and other T.C. components replaced in my 2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 L Sedan and now the engine is over heating very quickly, with in 5-10 mins of turning on the car. I would like to get a little bit of advice to get an idea of what the issue might be before i go and spend my other arm and leg on repairs.

Thanks in advance!

It should be the responsibility of whoever did the work to resolve this, assuming that it wasn't overheating before the work was done. It could be as simple as they didn't correctly refill and bleed the cooling system.

I agree however they are saying I have to be charged for it which I refuse to pay. (long timeline of drama with this shop)

My boyfriend has a lot of knowledge about mechanics, (his father had a shop). SO i was trying to see if it could possibly be something simple he could fix.

Did you ever figure out why it's overheating? My first gen 4.6 Genesis is overheating. I have it torn apart right now changing the thermostat. I can't seem to find the thermostat that I need for the housing that's in my car.
