Be sure the coolant reservoir is full. Be sure the hose and hose connections between the reservoir and radiator are good and tight and the radiator cap is good. Be sure that the rest of the coolant system is in good shape (no radiator leaks, no leaks anywhere) and the system will bleed itself in time.
You should not need to "bleed" it. The cooling system water pump circulates the coolant throughout the entire cooling system (including the cabin heater) and during the process any air in the system should migrate to the overflow tube and be exhauasted into the fluid overflow reservoir.
It is for filtering the air going through the heater/ac system.
It is on the pipe behind the engine that goes to cabin radiator
First you should stop driving it until you get it straighten out, that being said. you need to fill your cooling system and bleed it, the noise your hearing is air in the cooling system running thru your heater. Once you have filled it and properly bleed all the air out of the system, you need to preasure test the system to 20 psi. with 20 psi on the system start wiggling the hoses and clamps, you will probably find your leak. Common leak locations are at hoses, clamps, water pump, throttle body heater.
No, they use the engine cooling system as the source of cabin heat.
check the heater core to see if it is clogged make sure it flows well - volkswagons are common for having air when replacing cooling parts- volkswagons have special bleed procedure to bleed air out of cooling system- make sure water is flowing in and out of the heater core properly- the thermostat will not open to allow water to flow if there is air in the cooling system and then in tern will not flow through the heater core to allow you to feel warm air flow into the cabin
No, the evaporator box and heater box are not the same. The evaporator box is part of the air conditioning system, where refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabin air to cool it down. In contrast, the heater box is part of the heating system, where hot coolant from the engine heats the air before it is blown into the cabin. Each serves a distinct function in regulating the vehicle's temperature.
A smell coming from the heater or AC vent in your 2003 PT Cruiser could be caused by a few issues. Common culprits include mold or mildew buildup in the HVAC system, which can occur if moisture is trapped inside. Additionally, it might be a sign of a coolant leak or a problem with the cabin air filter. It’s advisable to inspect the system or have a mechanic check for any underlying issues.
Nobody. He didn't stay in a cabin. He's just trapped in his house because of the snow.
In a 2003 Ford Taurus, the heater system operates by circulating engine coolant through a heater core, which is a small radiator located inside the cabin. When the engine is running, coolant absorbs heat and flows through the heater core, where a blower fan then pushes air over the heated core and into the vehicle’s interior. The temperature can be adjusted using the climate control settings, allowing for warm air to be directed inside the cabin during colder weather. The system relies on the vehicle's cooling system to function effectively, ensuring proper heating performance.
Probably leaking heater core.If not repairable get one from junkyard.
Yes, a clogged heater core can contribute to engine overheating. The heater core is part of the vehicle's cooling system, and if it becomes blocked, it restricts coolant flow. This can lead to inadequate cooling of the engine, causing it to overheat. Additionally, if the heater core is clogged, it may also reduce the effectiveness of the cabin heating system.
