Alright, I will try to explain my problem very simply
bought car used, runs fine. Didnt drive this winter because I had a different beater to drive.
Got rid of the beater, only to find my heat doesnt work all that well
my temp gauge takes a long time to rise to about halfway, when it is there heat is mildly warm to just lukewarm air blowing. Airflow is good, just doesnt get warm. It gets worse when it's even slightly cold out, and with a canadian winter coming I am getting nervous. I have tried the following things: changing my thermostat (yes it is the right temp) topped off coolant, changed out the heater core. Friend of mine comments how after all this the 3 rad hoses are all hot, when one is supposed to be less hot and more warm then piping hot. So coolant system problem? I don't know what else it could be? also the feet heat is always always cold
any help is appreciated!
