My heater used to work great...
Now the air it blows is cold-room temperature at best if i turn it off for a minute and turn it back on i get hot air for a second and then it goes cold again... any ideas? possible causes and solutions? |

replaced the thermostat last night...
Engine is heating to temp and staying there now  ...Heat is a little better, but not even close to what it used to be. Could old antifreeze or air in the lines affect the heaters efficiency? im pretty sure there is some air in there still, but i thought it would work itself out... im not sure what to look for at this point, any more ideas? |

Check your radiator if its cold at the bottom then u have air in there or could be the other way round sorry been ages since i had this problem. Im sure if u have air in there it will over heat, sorry i cant be more help but thats something to look for. -------------------- You Take Them Spoons Away He Cry Like A Baby, Mother F*ucking Spoon Love
