Subject: Re: Low coolant temps and no heat by biggrizzly on 2008/11/26 20:49:02 OK - I just gave it a little test in the garage. Primary fan came on at 180. It took almost 15 minutes to get it up to 180. My garage is at about 50 degrees right now ambient temps. I wasn't going to wait for the secondary fan to kick in, because as soon as the fan came on at 180 the temps dropped right back down. There was a little warmth blowing from the vents but hardly detectable even when the car got up to 180 degrees. It makes no sense to me because as I see it, the thermostat should open at 160 correct? If it opens at 160 I have full circulation of coolant? or is there another controller that allows coolant into the heater core? or am I ass backwards here? I guess I'll just go get a 180 to see how it behaves. It can't hurt. |
