My 2003 Tiburon SE is over heating after about 5-10 minutes of driving. The heat is blowing out cold air, and there is a faint smell of anti-freeze.

My 2002 Saturn sc1 is blowing cold air and no heat.?

Hello. If change the tempature setting from hot to cold dose it click. If so you need to replace the blender door motor. If not they you need a heater core and if it's the heater core you should smell anti-freeze inside the car.

My 2004 Pontiac Aztek isn't blowing heat. It blows cold air. I had a coolant flush in december.

You probably have an air bubble and therefore doesn't have enough anti freeze in the system. Carefully remove the radiator cap when the engine is running and verify it and/or notice the hot/cold marking on the overflow tank. The system needs to be full to heat.

Dodge durango 2001 fogging up windows not defrosting

It's most likely your heater core that is causing the problem it could be leaking either from the core it's self causing anti freeze to get into your vents or from one of the hoses leading to it.....I am assuming that when your heat is on there is a dampness in the air this is what is causing the windows to fog up.

definately sounds like you have a bad heater core, the heater core is the only way for you to get the antifreeze smell inside the vehicle. It may not be totally bad, or pluged right now, but it wont be long. if you put a new one in it, it will fix your problem. hope this helps you God Bless!!

2003 galant not heating properly cold air will blow but no heat

make sure first you check your anti-freeze level. one simple procedure to do is to see if both radiator hoses are the same temp after the car is warm up. if not suspect faulty thermostat.

Heater blows cold, temp gauge rises 1997 Camaro Z28, 50,000 miles...Florida, freezing in NJ Car just started blowing cold air today...always smeeled anitfreeze...always has water level light on as long as...

heater core is probably what was changed,..a little radiator under the dash that the hot water runs through and a fan behind it to blow at it thus giving you heat,...pretty much thats it in a nutshell,...sounds like something still leaking under there, (anti-freeze smell),... fill it back up with anti-freeze (non-toxic type so you don't polute) and drive to where you gotta go,....go to your mechanic to find that leak,.good luck, and do a hole shot for me! thanks, cracklin joe

Heater slow to work

this sounds normal in very cold conditions! The air is never hot when you first start the car in any car, until the engine warms up, then the heater air will also warm. You could check your anti-freeze level for the first thing. If you don't have enough anti-freeze, it won't run through your heater to give you the proper heat

No Heat in Alaska!!!!!!

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but did u check your anti-freeze level? If it's low, you won't have heat, if it gets a little lower than that, your car overheats. countrycurt0
