The story is the same as everyone elses, on the way home from work today my 2002 mazda MP5 started to overheat out of the blue. I pulled over and put water in the radiator and see if i had any leaks and such. I didnt notice any leaks so I went on my way and it overheated again of course, now here is where my story differs from the rest. I put the heater on and it was fine the temp is normal and I drove about 15 minutes home without problems, anytime i take the heater off though it overheats.
Sooooooo what the hell can it be? DO you think there is air in the system? I tried to bleed it but i have had no success "I dont know how to bleed this system"
The fans come on so we can rule out that and there is no oil in the coolant or vice versa.
So it must be the thermostat right? but why does it work with the heat on if it is the t-stat?
Please help!!
