I'm running out of options with our faultless 2007 petrol Mazda.
History
Bought 2013 50k miles £2400
2015 replaced stuck open thermostat
2019 replaced coolent, had issues purging the system but eventually ok.
6 weeks ago cooling fans stuck on, temp gauge normal.
Whilst waiting for wife outside shop at idle went from hot to cold in cabin, rev engine heat comes back cycle continues, check coolent level all normal?
Replace coolent, no difference but once up to temp fans running no heat from rad(air through rad freezing) replace thermostat run up to temp no change still freezing
Today drove a short distance 5 miles on way home temp rose higher than I've ever seen, once home rad cold, clear bubbling noise but not boiled over once stopped.
I have a new water pump but not fitted, there's is flow through the heater matrix so not sure if it is the pump.
Oil filler fine no white steam from exhaust.
Any suggestions would be really helpful otherwise it's going to be an expensive fix(stealer) add the issue of the wife 500 being in it's accident.
