Q: 2002 Toyota Camry V4. My car started over heating and the inside heater also stopped working.

asked by on April 04, 2017

The radiator has been leaking for a couple months but the car was running fine as long as we made sure there was always coolant in the over fill tank. The car started over heating and the heater inside also broke. No hot air comes out at all only cold even when its over heating. We can only drive it for about ten mins then it over heats. Changed the thermastat. And didn't help at all.

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
