2003 nissan sentra no heat blows cold air. already changed th thermostat

Garage supposedly did a block test and have air in the coolant. they are saying it's the head gasket. just not sure how much I believe them considering in the same week the same garage said my other vehicle needed an intake gasket. seems funny that two different vehicles both need the engine expensively fixed.

Check the heater hose's going in through the fire wall ,are they hot ? Both hose's ! This is something you can do yourself ! If they are hot probably the temp actuator is bad or the door is stuck on the cold or heater core clogged ! Video's on youtube showing what to check. Learn to double check your mechanic !

SOURCE: heater blowing cold air

My 05 sentra with 79k miles heat will warm up and then get cold after a mile of driving, we have tried to get the air pocket out, the mechanic stated he thought it could be a blown head gasket, another mechanic said it was a bad heater core. Any advice would be appreciated.

SOURCE: 2003 Nissan sentra 2003 gxe, had 4 yrs, no

Start the car up when it is cold and rev the engine up for 30 seconds,loosen up the radiator cap and see if there is pressure there..If there is you probably have a bad head gasket...Caution do not open cap if engine is warm...

SOURCE: Hi my name is celeste

Does the engine heat up to operating temperature??? It could be a clogged heater core, so a reverse flush may just help.

How to purge heating system on a 2003 nissan sentry

This system has to be purged of all air. This has to be done at a shop that has this tool. It basically vacuums out all the atmosphere just like an HVAC vacuum pump. It then sucks in the coolant thus no air pockects.

Ya I have a 2002 Nissan sentra,the car temp gauge goes to max heat ,,but its blowing cold air inside the car ,,,and im already in cold weather ,,got any ideas" could really use some help!!

yeah, low on coolant, or a blockage in the cooling system. I would do the thermostat first, should be simple and fairly inexpensive.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/tom_1788908372a4836f

2003 nissan sentra is blowing cold air i changed thermostat stillblowing cold air i did notice that heater core hoses are both cold car is not overheating

remove both hoses from engine that passes through firewall to heater. put a stiff piece of wire in the hole and make sure it is clear. If there is no restriction, then the heater is choked up

2003 nissan sentra gxe heater core

The problem is likely in your heater case doors, not the core itself. These doors are either vacuum operated or small motor operated.

Get the car warmed up, then feel both heater hoses. Both should be hot, meaning coolant is circulating. If only one is hot, the other cold, then you have a circulation problem.

Hey i have a 2003 Nissan Sentra 1.8L with 100000 miles on it and just recently the heater began to blow cold air most of the time and on some random occasions it would blow warm. i replaced the thermostat...

The actuator that controls the heat and air has probably gone bad or the control that tells the actuator what air temperature you want has gone or is going out.

2003 NISSAN SENTRA HEATER BLOWING AMBIENT AIR. JUST REPLACED THERMOSTAT AND HOSE AS IT WAS OVERHEATING, BUT NOT LEAKING. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON LAST WEEK.

let the engine get cold, and remove the radiator cap, fill the system to proper level and re test. run engine until thermostat opens, fans come on, then alow to cool again and re check engine coolant. If this does not work, or the thermostat does not open the thermostat is instaled backwards, remove and reposition.

No heat

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!
