I am having heating issues - not very hot, thinking about flushing system first but wanted to know if anyone is having similar problems on a 2003 model - 110k miles, and should I be looking at replacing the core. I smelled fluid once last week for first time and have not checked hoses to see if one's hot and the other is cold as of yet.

 

i'd be looking at your thermostat befor you sart doing all of that..

 

Thanks - I already flushed the system, replaced hoses & thermostat last summer, but in Phoenix - we do not need the heat as much - and just now starting to see a problem.

 

well i have replced a thermostat and a week later i had to replace it again.. and thats on different cars..... and thats happened a few times.. would u rather spend $5-10 or 100+?

 

Good advice! - I'll replace the thermostate & do a flush, hope this will fix it. Thanks.
