HI can anyone assist with a prick of a heater that just wont work - no heat coming out at all I'm sick of freezing my ass off everyday!! does the heater box have a tap running off the hot cold lever on the dash?? the lever has appeared to not direct any heat to the cabin at all and doesnt close or open. Mopar rangie is the other half I drive a REAL CAR!!!

might be time for new heater box!!!!
let me know i got a few lying around.

Ur right

HAHAH, they r a prick of a thing.. The whole dash has to come out to get the dreaded heater box out.. A good thing if you have aircon, the box will come of without touching the evaporator!!.

The lever moves a flap & a coolant valve... but the setup will shock you as did me,, and im a mechanic

I ran straight heater hose from the heater core to engine bay.. Just fit a universal valve.. ( i used vaccum operated VS tap, acts as bypass when open)

Hope this helps,, I also hope after the effort that its a MK/MQ

Looks as if ya Saturday arvo is booked

Prick of a job that takes up huge time to do, dont replace the "tap", just bypass it alltogether with a bit of copper pipe.
The heat wont come through with the tap missing as a flap covers the heater core when the control settings are on "cold".

Dont forget to flush the heater core while ya at it and check it for leaks too, I've seen heaps that have let go in the last few years.

Oh.......
A mate would be a real handy thing to have around when ya doing it.

Kingy

FARK.hence why the cars nicknames are BOB - BUCKET OF BOLTS HEAP OF SHIT OR whatever takes the fancy at the time, depending on what wont work on what day!!! hahahahah and yes it is a MK-MQ 1984 but for some stupid reason i love that car!!!! - this is not from the call sign but the other half!!! just to make a point........ thanks heaps though
