possibly knocked or shook some of the loose crap hanging around the motor etc and now they got a blocked radiator. Have them get the car to operating temp and run their hand along the back of the radiator. (with the motor off) and feel if there are any cool spots along the radiator. It should be all the same temp. If there is then they got a blockage in that spot.
