Browning Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Blows so cold you'd think the windows were down. Been like this all winter but has mysteriously started to work a couple of times then stopped. Clogged heater core? T-stat? Should mention it supposedly has a tstat, head gasket, new radiator, etc put in over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Fluid full? Start there. Is the line going into the heater core hot to the touch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 she's going out to check now since she just got back in it so they should be warm. It's in Columbus and I can't get up there right away to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 had to explain to her about the hoses but I'm pretty sure she found them. Says one is warm and the other is cold. Core is clogged? Will flushing cause any damage to it? Any other way to check it it's clogged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Says one is warm and the other is cold. Core is clogged? Most likely. With all the other work done to it this past year, very likely debris got knocked loose in the system and clogged it. How many miles?

Browning Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 130k if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 BTW, does she have a temp gauge or just a dummy light? With that many miles, maybe you're lucky enough to already have a flush T installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 she has the gause but says it stays low on cold. When the heat worked those few days she said it was up at normal. Any idea what a shop would charge to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what a shop would charge to do it? That sounds more like a failing thermostat or air in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 if it were a tstat, would the one hose still be cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 sounds like the stat is stuck open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 any of you own a shop? Price to check it out and how much to fix if so? She's on the hilltop if that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 NTB downtown, 150 E. Long street. Open 6:30-6 tomorrow, call 614-232-8881. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I hate that NTB doesn't have prices or anything on their site for that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
