Really low heat inside

rooky · Nov 8, 2015

Hey guys, I realize this morning my car had close to no heat and I was freezing. I recently drain the coolant and refill before and wouldn't call it a flush because I drain it from the plug. What could be the culprit that warrant this issue?

Did you bleed the system? Check the heater core hoses when the car is warmed up to see if they are warm. If one is and the other is cold, the heater doors may not be functioning.

Yeah I did bleed the system.

How do the heater core hoses feel? Was the heat on when you were bleeding the system?

Watch the valve too. Have someone move the heat knob around, while you watch to see if it is moving.

When I bled the system the heat was off. I didn't pay much attention to the temperature of the hose.

xci.ed6 not to be rude but why do I have to play with the knob and watch the valve?

Heat should always be on when bleeding a cooling system. it is the only way to get all the air out of those lines. xci wants you to play with all that stuff to one, see if the valves are functional and two, get the air out of those lines.
