Overheating only with ac on
My car doesn't overheat when the ac is not on. Even on an hour of driving in the middle of a hot day, but once i run the ac for about half an hour the temp will slowly increase.
First time it happened, i quickly checked for any coolant leak. Only to found out the reservoir was empty. Hoping that's the only problem so i filled it up. Then the next day the same thing happened, once i run the ac. Temp goes up and empty reservoir.
The parts that i replaced within a year are radiator, hoses, cap, thermostat, water pump and headgasket. Any ideas?
TIA

i properly torqued my arp headstuds and i don't see why it would only overheat with the ac on. hope that's not the case.

How many years exactly? I'm only been boosting for a few months.

same issue happened to me too
but mine does something even weirder.
I get a huge load on my motor when the a/c is on
vacuum is like 15 inches/Hg and car vibrates like mad.
p28 ecu on an obd2 motor... i wonder if that has anything to do with it...
