My 2005 Maxima had the temperature gauge running hot and falling back for a week, and my heat stopped working in the car. Today I poured a half gallon of distilled water into the radiator and my heat immediately started working and the temperature has been stable for the last several hours of city driving. It probably was an air pocket. For 99 cents im back in business!
