How did you "fix" the head gasket leak?
Through a mechanic… he telling me its door bled problem..
What did the "mechanic" do to fix the head gasket leak? If he put a bottle of sealer through it, he probably clogged up your heater control valve and possibly your heater core.
Man.. i have no clue how he fixed it…
Ask him. Check your receipt. It matters a lot.
Usually no heat means there's either a coolant leak, or the people you paid to do the head gasket job didn't fill up the cooling system properly, providing they actually fixed it and didn't use some kind of sealer. If they used sealer, the system could be all gummed up.
Uncap the radiator when the engine is cold. If the level is low, add some. Then, raise the front end on ramps, a jack stand, or an inclined driveway so that the radiator is higher than the dashboard and run the engine with the radiator cap off. Put the heater on max heat and at max fan speed. Look down inside the radiator, if it bubbles and the level drops, there's air in the heater core. Add coolant until it stops bubbling and dropping. Check the heat to make sure it's hot again. Top off the overflow tank to the correct level
Thank you…i have heat on the drivers side but no where else…again thank for ur advise..
Man.. i have no clue how he fixed it…
How much did he charge you? That's a huge clue. Fixing a head gasket isn't a $150-$200 endeavor, if that's all he charged, he sealed it. The whole top half of the engine needs removed to get at the head gasket.
He charged me $1700..he said he had to remove half of the engine..
Where is the receipt with a description of the work performed and parts used? Without that, all you have is hot air.
Man.. i have no clue how he fixed it…
The receipt for the job should break out parts and labor. You did get a receipt, right?
Or get one of these. It makes the job much easier.
