If the engine is not over heating than most lilely it isn't the thermostat or waterpump that is causing the problem. Check the heater hose coming out of the manifold and see if it is warm to hot. Next check the return line from the heater if it is still cold or moch cooler than the inlet, the most possible problem is the heater water control valve if this model has one or possible the core of the heater is plugg with slime cause by some antifreezes setting during the summer months while not being used. If this is the case than remove tihe two hoses and back flush the heater core with water pressure until it runs clear. I have had this problem before and this cured my problem. I also had to flush the engine and radatior also. Hope this help. .

When you let coolant out of system the level dropped below heads . this caused an air bubble in heads and or motor. when you go down the road the extra pressure of the water pump takes up the slack but at idle you are dealing with an air bubble that does not transfer heat

2015 VW Jetta Heater Blows Cold

Peugeot 206 temp gauge rapidly goes from middle to red light high. Fluctuates. Checked coolant ok. Worse with up hills and faster speed.

You may have a cracked cylinder head or damaged head gasket.
Open the coolant bottle and rev the engine, if you see bubbles and get an exhaust has smell then you probably have trouble.
Unless you are very mechanically inclined or better yet a mechanic, it’s not recommended you try fix it yourself.
If you don’t pick up any bubbles or exhaust gas smell, you may have a blockage or even an airlock in your cooling system

The heater blows air, but it is always cold on every setting. What is going on with the heater?

Check coolant level first for being low. IF level ok, possible plugged/restricted heater core. With engine at operating temperature, check hoses under hood going into heater core. They should be close to the same temperature. If one is hot and the other warm/cold, suspect a restriction in the heater core and you will require a back flush to remove the restriction. If both hoses warm/cool, suspect a thermostat issue and the engine will not reach proper operating temp to supply adequate heat.

No heat or very little heat in a 2001 blazer and iv tried everything ...it will blow some heat then go cold

Bad coolant flow. check for low coolant, also a thermostat could be restricting proper coolant flow. If coolant is full in the radiator than touch your upper radiator hose to see if it is hot. If their is proper coolant level and engine is warmed up to temp and radiator hose is cold replace your thermostat.

Engine overheat and no heat

Maybe your radiator is clogged.

Sometimes my heat works but most of the time it just blows cold air.

Get your radiator and heater core flushed out, if this doesn't fix the issue then your contol damper is probably not functioning like it should. The heater core and radaitor should be able to get flushed at the same time and this is a good thing to do on occasion anyway. Have you check your engine thermostat? this could be the culprit if it is not closing and allowing the engine to heat up.

Why my heater in 2000 plymouth breeze only gives a little heat? Could it be a hose ? I know it's not the thermostat,the blowers ar working. I am wonding if theres some hoses that could be leaking?I don't...

it could be the cold air blend door or the thermostat is the engine temp up to the middle of the gauge or close to it if so then thermostat is ok if not then go ahead and replace it.

1998 altima overheating

It may be the thermostat, but you should also check:-
1) Coolant level is at correct level (full) when checked cold- prior to running,
2) Cooling fan/s are running normally as they should when coolant temp rises,
3) A coolant hose on the suction side of the water pump is not collapsing (due softening) causing restricted coolant flow,
4) Radiator coolant core is not blocked, or radiator heat dispersion air fins blocked with insects/grass,
5) Engine does not have other running problems that cause it to overheat.

Heater blowing cold air

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!
