Should coolant be brownish in color? I have air but no heat. The solution given was great, in checking the coolant it appears to be brown should it be?
no the coolant that year should be green,its either got oil in it,which i doubt as it would be very oily, its probably just very old and dirty i would flush that out before winter,it could have had a coolant leak and someone added stop leak to it and thats what gave it that color,but that stop leak stuff blocks the heater cores up,,,or you could have a stuck thermostat as to why you got no heat
