heater



hi all,

im new to this board, im was just wandering if anyone call help me?? My heater was working fine, and then i had a bad radiater, and had to replace..... but it worked fine for about 3 months or so, and now i can turn my heater on full blast and you can bareley feel any heat, i have to use a rag to wipe the inside of the window on cold mornings.. i think i smell an slight odor of antifreeze but not really sure... i read the one posting about making sure you had the heater on high when filling radiator, but why would it work fine for 3 months and then decide to quite>>> well im starting to write a book..

turn on the engine and let it warm up. then feel the heater hose coming out of firewall to see if both hoses are warm. if not, your heater core may be clogged or water pump could be failing.
also check to see that all cables and hose are operating the heater controls properly to be sure air is going over core.

Are your windows steaming up when you turn your heater on??? (and you smell anti-freeze) maybe your
heater core is leaking.
