Heating up
13. May 2011 at 22:38

ok so the coolant level is where it should be which obviously means that there is no leak, but still my car seems to heat, the temperature gauge always stays above the half point, more than it used to
Once it even shot to the top and the red temperature light came on, but that was while I was standing at a traffic light.
I havent been driving recklessly either...
Any ideas why its heating ??

May 2011 at 23:58 im not sure about the larger one at the rear of the rad but does any of this also affect the throw of the air for the air conditioner ?? Because for some reason the pressure of the air at full has reduced, dont really know why ?? Is it some fan not working or do I have to clean some filters or blowers ?? If yes, then how ??

If yes, then how ??

1) Do you mean you can hear the fan blowing at max but cant feel the air
OR
2) You cant hear the fan blowing although you have set it to max.

If its (1) then you might want to check your pollen filter! Wink

but you know the drill now! Thumbs Up!

I didnt seem to find anything
A few images would be of real help though...

So that means that I dont have to open up the would dashbord to clean up the blower or something ??

Ok done that
Ive cleaned it all

A friend told me that I would have to open up the front dash and clean the blowers and air vents !!
Do I really have to do that !!?? Sad
