<snip>It could be the thermostat, but how does that translate to the no-heat-from-the-heater problem?

air-lock or blockage in piping from water pump to heater control tap or actually in the heater tap.

when you re-filled the cooling sysem did you have the heater on - and did you let it run for a few minutes with the cap off (or any other 'bleeding' actions)?

when yo repaired the tank, are you sure non of hte putty made it's way to the pump and/or thermostat?

i'm guessing that you did, but it pays to remove potential causes.

out of left field suggestion? is this an AFM or MAP engine? (shows how much i know my 3S engines) if AFM - what's the O2 readings like? rich or lean? the reason i ask is you could be running lean and hot, hence the cooling issues - your run with the laptop should have shown this up?

update: the fact that it only kept tempretures stable at idle does point to a failure in the cooling system.
