I had heat before i change the thermostat what happened?

  • montehammons Feb 10, 2013

    When the engine is fully warmed up, feel both your heater hoses: if both are hot, the coolant is circulating through your heater core, so that's not the problem with the heater.

You may have trapped air in the coolant system. Take off the radiator cap, turn heater control to high heat, and run the engine till it is fully warmed up and the thermostat has opened. Then shut off car and replace radiator cap after topping up coolant. Heater may work now. Good luck.

My heat is blowing cold air.

Could be a number of issues:
Low Engine Coolant
Thermostat,
HVAC controls,
or Heatercore.

Check in this order:
Make sure your engine coolant is not low!

Does your engine heat up to the proper temperature? If not, change the thermostat.

To check heatercore try this:
Keep your air turned off, after the car's engine is heated up nicely, turn the heat on and see if you get some heat for a short while. If this happens, your heater core is plugged.

Hopefully one of these help fix the problem for you as diagnosing the controls is harder.

Cant figure out how to change the thermostat on my 2003 Olds Alero.

  1. (This is for a 2.2L engine) If equipped with an automatic transmission, remove the exhaust manifold.
  2. Drain the cooling system.
  3. Remove the thermostat housing to water pump feed pipe bolts.
  4. Remove the thermostat housing to water pump feed pipe.
  5. Remove the thermostat.

No heat ,blows cold air

It is likely that the thermostat has failed and is stuck wide open as a failsafe. This jsut happened to me last week in my VW golf. Your engine will never come up to temperature but as long as the thermostat stays open it will not overheat either. Change the thermostat ASAP in case it the failsafe doesn't keep open and you overheat the engine.

Engine Overheats Mercury Villager GS 1997 6 Cyl

Most likely a sticky thermostat, what is happening is that it's staying closed most of the time causing the engine to over heat, eventually it will open allowing the fluid to circulate and cool down from the radiator. I suggest changing the thermostat rather quickly or you could do damage.
There are two hoses coming from the radiator, the thermostat is located on the top hose where it seats on the motor. Usually fairly easy to change only a few bolts, but you will have to drain most of the fluid from the radiator. I also recommend getting some 'indian head' gasket sealer and apply to the motor side of the gasket, not the side that seats onto the thermostat.
