You are a lifesaver! Winter just began in here and I had no heater whatsoever and never knew where the water sound was coming from when driving. I watched a lot of videos and no luck. This morning I watched your video and took the air our as you explained. Boom! the heater is working as new and I didn't spend a dime. Thank you so much!

@@breannalakin3747 If you hear sloshing that means there's air in the system. There shouldn't be any air in the system. Kinda like a full 2-liter bottle of water...if you shake it you won't hear sloshing because there's no air. However, if that bottle isn't filled completely then you can hear the water sloshing around.

excellent video but a note to help people whoes heater blows cold sporadically or at low rpm. HE FORGOT TO MENTION THE COOLANT TANK OFF TO THE SIDE--that tank must be clean and not clogged and the hose going in under the radiator cap must be pristine and sealed. That tank is not an overflow tank--the engine draws coolant from it and backflows it back and forth as the engine runs. If that tank becomes dry or clogged THE HEATER GETS AIR LOCKED--ITS SUCKING AIR. Good video but it was an honest oversight that he forgot to mention it. I suffered for five years blowing occasional or constant cold at low rpm. I cleaned my tank and YOU MUST POUR COOLANT INTO IT--fixed my problem instantly as I was about to spend hundreds on heater core replacements etc.

Just buy a spill-proof funnel. It makes it possible to bleed the air out of the the cooling system without too much trouble, and it has a rod with a stopper on the end so you can put the extra coolant back in your bottle! I can't recommend it enough!

@jaysilverheals44456 жыл бұрын
OUCH!!--ALL THE ISSUE WAS IS THAT THE PLASTIC COOLANT TANK OFF TO THE SIDE WAS DRY AND OR CLOGGED. That is not an overflow tank--the engine when started suctions water in and feeds it back out as the engine runs. If you blow cold at low rpm but heater works fine on the highway or by revving the engine the HEATER IS AIR LOCKED. At higher rpm-s--the force of the water overcomes the airlock and forces some hot water through. That coolant tank must be clean and the hole in the bottom and the hose to below the radiator cap must be clear and hose pristine and totally sealing with no damage. Your problems would have been solved instantly for free. I have uploaded a brief amatuer video showing the tank and how bad mine was. I agonized for five years and cleaning then FILLING THAT TANK WITH 2 INCHES OF COOLANT FIXED IT INSTANTLY. I now blow hotter than hell air at an idle and it blows hot even before the needle registers the engine warming up. Thanks hope this helps someone

@levimarenda76698 жыл бұрын
could be the blend door that controls the mixture of hot/cold air. sounds like the control cable for it broke loose, so the door flops around, changing from really hot to cold on its own. when stopping or going downhill the blend door may move forward and close completely, and then flops back when accelerating or going uphill. thus leads to either hot or cold extreme conditions.
