Hi guys,
Been reading through a few posts on here from other members regarding the overheating issue the 350Z DE sometimes suffers from.
So to run through everything that's been checked:
Fans - both working normally, with or without use of AC
Dial - reading correctly
Thermostat - opening/closing as it should
Air Flow - good, not being starved
Cockpit Heater - behaving normally and hot air coming through regardless of rev range.
Driveway - flat and level, very rarely parked on a slope
Water pump - fine. Behaving normally.
Still having a problem with overheating.
Garage has had it for the day and bled the valve through to the point of the coolant free-flowing. Done a block test and fluid level test and everything is sound. Mechanic is stumped, so am I.
Only thing I did notice last night when I went to drive it, upon start up I could hear a rushing sound of water behind the dash.. leading me to think that there is still air trapped in the heater matrix?
So question is... Do I attempt another session of bleeding it with heater on low, squeezing flow/return pipes and see what happens? Or does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help in advance!
