I am having trouble with my heater. It did not act up all winter, meaning heat was minimal. Now in the mild cold spring, it is still noticeably chilly with it on .. what would be the problem. I am hearing all kinds of costly ideas. Maybe it is just something simple! roll eyes

Can you smell antifreeze? ... Heater Core, but my guess is a very simple fix - the thermostat. Not expensive - head to Napa, and ask someone who is reasonably handy with vehicles to put it in! wave

Yeah, thermostat is a good place to start. Every car I ever owned that had heating problems it was always the thermostat. Well except for one which a heater was optional equipment but so were body panels and headlights.rolling on the floor laughing

You guys answered. Thanks .. I am just looking around in here properly after a long summer. Back to winter and that car .. I gave it to the ex-husband's new wife. It was the thermostat.

What model car will you be driving this year; to be more specific this winter. We'll prepare ourselves in case you run into problems grin
