Ok so I have a 03 X that's having an odd overheating issue. Hopin someone can help.
When my wife drives to school (about 28 miles) she has no issues whatsoever. But on her way home goin up some hills etc the gauge starts to show its overheating however there's no loss of power at all. Seems to drive completely normal. She says when she turns the heater on it feels hotter than normal and the gauge immediately drops and stays normal. All I can think of is maybe the water pump is goin out so its not pumping as much water as it should? Or the tstat is clogged and not letting enough water pass? I know the tstat is new (I replaced it a couple thousand miles ago)
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
