Haha, I wondered what you looked like! :D


I still haven't figured out how to put photos in, probably a good thing cause it'll go too far off topic :)

One thing I forgot to add to the post about doing the water change. There is an air bleed valve directly ontop of the thermostat housing, make sure you undo this and have coolant /water pushing out of the hole or level with the top of the housing before returning the screw back to it's hole, then top up system accordingly.

Hey guys,

 

Sorry to keep this old thread alive but bit of an update for you...

 

I had my mechanic flush the heater core, and still no improvement in temperature.

What I did notice is that no matter what temperature I have it set to if the AC is on the air comes out ICE COLD...

Driving home last night (post flush) I have the fan on max, temp set to 32 AC (snow button) off, the air was room temp. I left everything set to max and pushed the AC on (snow button) ice cold air came out.

 

No leaks, car does not appear to overheat.

 

Thoughts?

Either the heater tap is stuck in the off position. Or the core is blocked solid. I would pull the heater hoses off at engine end as firewall end is more fragile. And run the garden hose into one pipe. Get someone to turn heater on and off and there should be a noticable change in water flow.
It seems you have climate control. Sometimes these have a blend fan inside the heaterbox to blend the hot and cold air in addition to the blower fan. Not sure with the rvr.

Probably the tap tho

It's your heater tap by the sounds of it M8, Either that or a very small chance it's your climate control. GL
