Passat (B5) :: 2000 V6 Heater Vents Blowing Cold


Dec 19, 2008

I took my 2000 V6 Passat into the shop because my heater vents were blowing cold. They tested the system and told me the following:

The hoses leading to the heating core are warm, but no warm air is leaving the heater core, indicating that it's plugged up with corrosion. They testing the coolant fluid and found that the incorrect coolant had been put into the system and that the fluid was carrying an electrical charge that must be corroding the aluminum portions of the system. In addition, the engine temp sensor is kaput and never goes up.

They offered a garden hose flush the heating system for a few hundred bucks, but warned that it is only 50% successful. They recommend replacing the heating core.

Passat (B7) :: Heater - Cold Air From All Vents Except One To The Left Of Steering Wheel

I've been having an issue with the heater (climate control system) in my 2013 Passat TDI (Highline). The air coming out of all vents except the one to the left of the steering wheel is not hot at all. Basically all vents (including feet vents) are bringing in cold winter air while only one vent is bringing in heated air. I called the dealer and have scheduled an appointment to have it looked at soon but with temperatures dropping fast it is getting pretty uncomfortable, and I would like to know what could be causing this problem before I go in. Also the car is still under warranty and I will expect the dealer to cover all labor and part replacement costs. I just want to be ready to call out any claims they may make in order to push these costs onto me. They have been a very good dealer so far but it's better to be prepared.

Camry :: 07 - Heater Blowing Hot Air On Driver Side Vents Only

Last night driving I noticed that the passenger side vents are not blowing hot air when the heat is on, but I noticed the driver side vents were blowing very hot air. Does this mean I could have a bad heater core, or a clogged heater core?

Cannot figure out how to get the heated air to flow through the back via the rear vents. All I get is outside air. I cannot find anything about it in the manual. The dealer has no clue but is trying to find something on it. New 2009 Santa Fe Limited.

Push A/C button is always on green. The (air speed) 01234 button is also always on green. the Push button turns on and off orange whenever I click it.

Anyways, the AC doesn't blow any hot air... always just cold. I've adjusted the dial to red and have left it there for a long time... no hot air. Any trouble shooting I can do?

Prius (2004-09) :: No Heat / Vents Are Blowing Cold Air

I have an 06 Prius. I was driving my Prius today and I've noticed that my car has NO HOT AIR...

And this is Winter!! I was driving for about 20 mins and still...No Hot air...vents are blowing cold (cool) air.

I recently changed my condenser/radiator but I did NOT fill my condensor with the A/C gas yet. (could that be the problem?) But isn't the gas inside condenser is for A/C and not for the Hot air??

Any other stuff that I need to check to solve this problem?? (harness, fuse etc.?) It's cold outside and my car has NO HEAT!

Ford A/C :: 1993 F250 - No Cold Air Blowing From Vents

I had my entire A/C unit converted to R-134 on my 93 F-250. This was the entire system done at a FORD dealership. I've got about 1000KM on it, mostly this past winter. I noticed a few weeks ago when i turned the A/C on that the air seemed to be only blowing air, like vent. It was not air conditioned. I ran it for 15 min or so before suddenly there was a blast of really cold air and it held strong until i turned the truck off.

I cannot reproduce the results again, however. I can tell that the compressor kicks in like before, meaning it seems to be working mechanically fine. The temp outside has been at or just above freezing. Would this have any effect on the A/C? Should I park this is a heated parade or something to test it? What to test/check prior to bringing to the dealership?

Honda - Accord :: 2004 - No Hot Or Cold Air Blowing From Vents With Heat Or AC

Nothing will blow out from vents, with heat or AC. I checked the fuse under the hood and that had continuity, I checked the 7.5 fuse under the dash and that was fine. I also replaced the blower motor resistor and the blower motor with brand new ones. Also used a test light to make sure power was getting to the resistor and motor and that is all good.

Ford A/C :: 1997 F150 V6 - Cold Blowing Only Through Defrost Vents?

My A/C is blowing cold but only thru the defrost vents. First it was blowing normally from the dash but during acceleration or under load, the a/c would randomly blow from any vent, from the floor, dash, defrost. Now that stopped and it only blows from the defrost vents above the dash-board.

Sebring - Chrysler :: Heater Blowing Cold Air

Got a bit of a problem with my car. Earlier this week, I got in and noticed there was heavy condensation on the inside of the windshield of my 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible. The windows had been rolled up and the top up of course. I see this kind of condensation happen on the outside a lot in the mornings. You know, dew settling and all that. If I wait around until later in the day, it evaporates on its own.

Anyway, this time it was on the INSIDE. I wiped it clean easily enough and was on my way.

Today I noticed that my heater wasn't working. The temperature gauge goes up to about 1/3 of the way, so I know the car is warming up. I'm not sure if it normally goes up that high; I don't usually pay much attention to the temperature gauge.

Jeep - Cherokee :: 1996 - AC System Only Blowing Cold Air Out Of Defroster Vents

My 1996 Jeep Cherokee A/C system pushes cold air but out of the defroster vents not the A/C vents. Why this is happening? I suspect it is the slide switches for the A/C system but I am not sure and do not want to take the dash apart before I have some confirmation. I have checked the vacuum hoses with the heater/A/C system and they seem fine.

My problems in my ac begin last year around Summer. My ac was blowing hot and not cold and once it even blew some kind of smoke out of the vents. It only did that once and hasn't since. I went to good year and put some freon in the car. And it started to blow cold again and I was good for a while. Well I didn't need the cold air for the last few months till the heat started up again.

Ford A/C :: Shifts Blowing Out Cold From Dash Vents To Lukewarm Air When Accelerate

My 2001 F250SD 5.4L is doing something odd. When I have the A/C on and accelerate, it shifts from blowing out cold air from dash vents and goes to blowing lukewarm air out from the defrost vents on top. As soon as I decelerate or tap the brake pedal, it switches back to the dash vents and blows cold again. Even minor acceleration switches the air from blowing out the dash vents to blowing out the defroster vents.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Max Heat Blowing Through Vents When Temp Set On Cold

2001 F150 5.4 4wd - AC not working but when I turn the temperature dial to the blue side and turn on the fan, super hot air comes out of the vents or wherever I direct the fan to blow (Floor, defrost, etc) I know it shouldn't blow ice cold especially since my AC doesn't work but.....shouldn't I feel a temp change coming from the vents when I move temp dial from the red area to the blue? It's max heat wherever I have it set.
