i second that tbh. I know how much of a bitch they can be if air gets caught in the heater matrix.



Do you get hot air out of the air vents? also are the pipes going to/from the rad hot and rock hard?

[seanh]

the heater makes a funny sound that wont have any thing to do with it the pipes get hard ya cud it be the water pump
