If your coolant level is down ( because of a leak somewhere ) there won't be any flow of coolant through your heater core if the coolant level drops too low and you won't get any heat Find where the coolant leak is , repair it , and refill the coolant system with 50/50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( in colder climates you can use up to 60 % antifreeze , but don't exceed that )

Can no antifreeze cause no heat in a vehicle?

Yes, if your vehicle is low on antifreeze, there may not be enough to fill the heater core, and you wont get any heat. When the heat stops working in your car, antifreeze/coolant should be the first thing you check.

What is the viscosity of antifreeze?

The specific heat of antifreeze varies greatly with temperature and the percent concentration of ethylene glycol (antifreeze). At room temperature, 100 percent concentration of ethylene glycol will have a specific heat of about .59 to .58. This value varies greatly from the specific heat of water. Most commercial antifreeze is about 95 % concentration of ethylene glycol.


Why no heat after new heater core an thermostate motor runs hot no heat?

Are you sure the thermostat is installed correctly, or is it low on antifreeze? I would check the antifreeze level first.


Will putting straight antifreeze in your rad affect your heat?

A mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze will transfer heat better than straight antifreeze and still protect the system from freezing up to at least 34 degrees below zero F.


How does anti freeze wear out?

Antifreeze absorbs and releases heat constantly. Over time, this causes the antifreeze to break down.
