Sorry, can't be to detailed on make and model. I do know that it is a hyundia. She said that the coolant in the overflow resevior was bubbling. Any ideas? She also said that the oil is not milky. That kind of steers me away from a head gasket, but not totally. Asap Help would be awesome. She needs to get this car going for work.
You need to be a lot more detailed, it could be overheating due to a stuck closed thermostat, fan not coming on, clogged radiator, blown head gasket as well, too advanced timing, air pocket in the cooling system, etc. Provide the symptoms and conditions that the problem is happening under.

I don't have the car here yet, unfortunately. All she said is that it was bubbling. She also said they took the thermostat out, and it still did it. Ran for about 10 miles then had to shut off. If, I understood right, the water pump was replaced not all that long ago. She also put bars leaks stuff in it, which I chastised her for. that is as specific as I can be until it gets here, but you did give me some things to look at. She also says that she did not lose any power.
Conditions about 75-80 Degrees.
Symptom- Unsure, hopefully it didn't just die.
