SOURCE: heater core replacement

Actually if your handy the heater core on this car is pretty easy..  passengers side under the dash... but here is a link to some sites that will probably help  
from .... one of the wikki sites.. LOL cant remember which now

The heater core is located under the dash, in the center above the "hump". The container holding the core looks like a black plastic box. Remove the ash tray for easier access. You may have to also remove some other covers under the dash. First drain the radiator. Then you have to disconnect the hoses. There are two hoses connected to nipples of the heater core that are thru the center of the firewall. This has to be done from underneath the car while raised. I also had to unbolt a frame support to get to the hose clamps (I have big hands; you may be able to reach them without unbolting it). Remove the screws that hold on the cover to the heater core. You should be able to get the old one out now. Just go in reverse order to put it back together.

also this link is very handy they have a pretty complete collection for MANY vehicles

SOURCE: 1996 buick roadmaster keeps overheating:

A shotgun approach to repairs can really rack up the bills.

If your symptoms are loss of water and you have replaced the thermostat, you more than likely have an issue with steam. And that steam more than often comes from a bad head gasket. Most head gasket gasket failures seem to be confined to the water side initially, but let it go on bigger damage will occur.
You can buy a litmus test strip to dunk in the coolant. It will indicate if there are exhaust residuals in the water and thus a gasket failure.

However it may just be something simple, given that you have just about replaced everything:

have you given the radiator a good hosing inside and out?
is the radiator fan running when it should be?

SOURCE: 2000 buick lesabre - water pump replacement

first disconnect the battery then check how the serpentine belt is lined up so u can take it off and put back on. Then the pump should be on the side of the motor with 9or12 bolts there could be more! after taking out take razorblad and skrap the old gasket clean wipe of then put new gasket and pump back on dont over tighten the screws cuase the pump my be aluminum.

For re-installation just go in reverse order to put it all back together.

My overheating gage is going up but my car is not overheating in my 2004 Buick Lesabre

High high does the gauge go up? mid way, 3/4 way? That would be normal. The thermostat opening temperature is about 195-205 degrees. If you are not getting heat from the heater then you may have a plugged heater hose or a plugged heater core. To check the heater system, while the engine is running and warmed up, touch the heater hoses to see if they get hot. If they are hot to the touch then water is flowing through the heater. Also make sure that you bleed the cooling system correctly . There should be 2 air bleed ports in the cooling system. One by the t-stat housing and the other above the water pump area.

Heater not heating very good

If the coolant level is full and the water pump is circulating the coolant through the system adequately then the most like cause is the heater core has become clogged. The heater core can be flushed or replaced to fix the issue.

The brown looking chiffon could be oil in the water. However, if you are sure the system is ok then I would check the actuator door motor on the heater and make sure it is allowing the heat into the car. Seems as if you have done as much as you can.

if your radiator has a cap remove it and start the motor turn the heater on high and put it on defrost watch the coolant when the bubbles stop coming out and the fluid is at a full level there should be no more air in the system. a miss fire is caused by bad plugs or plug wires and i would back flush the heater core remover the hoses going to the firewall and flush the heater core with water from your garden hose. to check the water pump start the motor and watch the pump to see if any fluid comes from it.

My 1990 Buick Lesabre heater does not work all that good ! Takes a long time before I feel the heat ... really long time when its cold outside ! Is it the thermostat ?? Is it easy to replace ? What else...

Most likely the thermostat sticking...
The thermostat could also be missing!
That would create some of the symptom you describe.

Not too hard to replace. It is at the end of the large radiator hose where it connects to the engine.
1. Drain radiator
2. Undo the two bolts that hold down the thermostat housing
3. remove thermostat and remove all old gasket and gasket sealant residue on the engine and housing
4. replace thermostat in the correct orientation (pointy side UP) with the new gasket and sealant
5. Tighten down housing and re-fill the radiator.


It could also be a clogged heater core. It may only be circulating enough heated water to work sometimes and the water is returning to the radiator via the "bypass" hone.


Hope this helps!
