O2 sensor and radiator

I just had an o2 sensor (front) and radiator replaced in my 03 subaru impreza. After leaving mechanics, my check engine light came back on, the temp went back up into the red but the car is not over heating and the heat / defrost is blowing cool air. What now? Any ideas?

Sounds like it's overheating! Air in system for any reason won't transfer heat. A,B,C here - your gauge says your are hot, your CEL is on and you have no heat -- three strikes that it IS overheating still. Driving it may have added a head gasket job or more to the fix, T

I'd be calling the shop that did the work. Sounds like a comeback to me. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

I did call them. They basically told me too bad. They put in the radiator and the sensor. If I want to pay more, bring it in. Never ever going back. I only went to Sullivan Tire as I broke down in front of the business. So I now have a car that's in perfect shape except the engine. Gonna use a sledgehammer on it I think!
