Hi Everybody,

I know, and I've read about, that this is not the first heating issue posted in this forum. So, I'm gonna add up another one

I recently just changed my thermostat (bought that one from PartSource, part name is MOTORAD), because of a heating problem which started last summer, went fine for a few days then the heating issue persisted. I researched more about this issue and found that maybe the reservoir cap was just not supplying the proper pressure, so I replaced that as well, was fine for a few days then the problem was still there.

And then by some miracle or something the heating problem went away, this was for a good 2 mos. this time, so I thought that was a fixed problem. But winter time came, and I'm talking about -15C and the heating problem came back, and this was while I was sitting in traffic, but as soon as I start to roll, and not fast too as this is city stop-and-go driving, the temp drops back. I am lost here.

I guess my last statement would be a plea of....HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

Hear from you guys soon. And thanks in advance.

 

so you have heat when stopped idling and no heat when off idle and moving??

 

Hi tech2, sorry for the late late repy been very busy with something else.

Nyways, it's not a heating issue with the vents, it's an engine overheating issue.

Thanks for your interest hope to hear more inputs from you.

 

I have the same issue since van was one. GM cant fix problem, says it is a defect. wont come good for it so far.
