hey guys.. i'm trying to figure out why i don't get much heat from the heater. i'd say i'm getting half the heat than what i should be getting.
i recently replaced my thermostat and radiator cap and flushed my radiator fluid and have no leaks whatsoever inside or out. when i warm up the car, the upper radiator hose gets hot and the lower one is sort of warm (like it should). but the heater hoses are barely warm. i've bled the system for any air locks also. my guess is there is a clog somewhere along the heater core lines or perhaps the heater core is defective/corroded. i really hope it isn't cuz it costs $400 or more from the dealer. what do you think the problem might be? any help would be greatly appreciated. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

i'm sure the faucet outside will be frozen too. i will wait for this spring to flush it out. thanks for the replies.

You could just get a really long hose and attach it to the faucet inside... -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."
