good day or good eve all mazda masters, i am getting some kind of moisture inside the car when it is running and after i shut it, its kinda thick and it happens on all windows mainly when its running but after i shut the car it happens as well on places like the windshield and back window in all wheater patterns.

i am having a temp problem but have yet to change termostat and trouble shoot. i really want to change thermostat myself and am waiting for a diagram from place i ordered it from to do so... unless someone has this info i would greatly appreciate sooner than later.

my question is really can anyone narrow this temp problem down for me by this symptom, with the steam on the windows and all.
also the temp rises in stop and go traffic just below the h zone and goes back down , it does not do it all the time but does it frequently.

i know already this could be like trouble shooting a leaky roof from what i read, which may involve a number of different types of attempts at repairs but i was hoping to grab the attention of someone who may have had a similar problem and has gone through it or someone who knows what this is by what i described.

as always it is appreciated and my thanks in advance

 

From past experience , it is usually a heater core with a pinhole leak. The heater core has engine coolant running through it while running. It is located inside the dash in the a/c and heater box. The moisture is usually worse around the windshield. Is there any kind of a sweet odor inside the car?

 

hey bkey71 as always thanks again for replying, there is no smell that i have takin notice of but i will be on the lookout now that you mentioned it, also i am having a temp gauge problem, you mentioned that my gauge is at the end of the top hose and a mechanic that i use frequently but am having doubts about his knowledge at times says its a reverse flow system and its on the bottom. does this sound right to you, cause you wrote to me that its at the end of the top hose towards the filler cap on the engine block, but i have no idea what i am looking for to see the thermostat. anyway if it is on the bottom like he says , its a project according to him and the radiator is supposed to be removed. do you think he is pulling my chain?

also he says the water pump belt is loose.

again thanks for your reply, it will definately help me out somewhere along the line trouble shooting this problem.

talk to you later
