overheating...head gasket?
Are you losing water? 1. Top 100 Show Car 2. 13 sec 250+bhp RWD monster 3. Daily runabout well detailed 4. New Toy..The Track Car - but i know fuck all about this scene........ Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall. Torque: how far you take the wall with you. ***Nissan 200SX S14a 203.2bhp 194.6lbft - 13.89@100.60*** ![[Image: untitled-2.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/puntoollie/untitled-2.jpg)

the heater matrix is only for the heater system dude.
normaly over heating would be caused by loss of water, thermostat not working correctly. thus in turn loss of water and not cooling propperly will fry the head gasket. get it checked out before it happens |

If you've lost all the water through the heater matrix then yes indirectly it will overheat the car, as its got less water and not under pressure.
You need to sort it out before you knacker you headgasket or worse. ![[Image: Image094-1.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/OUR%20cars/Image094-1.jpg)
