Have you checked to see if the heater hoses are warm? This can help confirm that coolant is... MarcW - Sunday, 13 November, 2011, at 5:51:41 pm |

As suggest I checked the hoses and they were.... yeah... warm! The Heater Core is now removed and as Emmett for casted: The internal flap that blocks the external air seems in bad repair. It is about 2" wide and 9" long with big 1" holes. I did not measure this only a guesstimation. Out of about 8 holes only one has any foam left on it. The foam is very thin and seems to allow some air to move through the flap. Unfortunately now... way too much air is moving through!
Upon removing the heater core, I found the flap wide open. So that too may be a problem... I not sure if the normal position is open and it closes only when the heater is engaged or if my has failed open.
So I'm asking two questions. Please answer if you are willing.
1. Do you think it would be safe to cover the holes with Heat Tape? This flap when open rest very close to the radiator. But then again the box around the heater core is mostly some kind of fiber plastic that would most likely melt under extreme heat. How hot does that heater core get?
2. Is there some way to get the flap to close with the core removed? Could I maybe hook the core back up external of the box to watch the flap operate?
Thanks for all the advice and I love this board... Visit almost everyday... I never say much... very low key.
