Big thanks to you from Russia, for this video)
yooo fuck russia
Dealer wanted to ring me $3000 for the same job, thanks my guy for all the great content
My 2012 Chrysler 200 has the same problem. Thank you for the viedo. Your the only one I could find.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I do this kind of work everyday and we try to help those who can and educate those who cant. Please like and subscribe. It really does helps the channel.
Hi i have a same problem
My Chrysler 200 2011 v6 no heat in passenger side
Verg common problem. Good luck with the repair
So very frustrating! Maddening actually! Have a 2013 Chrysler 200s. Issues started with a check engine light and ASD light coming on. Simultaneously lost heat on the passenger side and began making a loud clicking noise on the passenger side. Everything online indicated a bad actuator door and the error code said there was a fault either in the braking, and or, cruise control unit. Took it to the dealership. They replaced actuator and a brake sensor, collected $634 and sent us on our way. The same day the cruise control stopped working again...and again, no heat on passenger side. We took it back and now they want $1900 to replace the heater core, replace coolant reservoir, replace the HVAC control unit, and do a radiator flush. They somehow seem to have reworded everything to ensure they are not billing for something they should have friggin found, and fixed the first time! I appreciate this video...and will try this myself before going back to the dealership...or any shop. Just chaps me that these dealerships can get away with this kind of behavior...since they can't sell cars these days I guess the gotta make money somewhere and no one seems to question how they do it. Thanks again for posting!
Same thing my car did.
We are victims of this horrible car. Ive spent 1000’s in the last 2 yrs keeping it running. Should have done my homework on it b4 i bought it. My own fault.
That’s one thing I love about my 200, it has a KILLER heater!! Thanks for the heads up of this happens !!
Thank you for the video I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 Sport with a 3.6 engine. I'm having the same exact problem today and honestly the heater cores installed at the factory, the tubes are very small compared to the aftermarket ones. I replaced a heater core in a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron. From what I learned, if there's more than a 25 degree tempereature drop on the heater core outlet hose, you have a plugged heater core. Use the works toilet bowl cleaner to clean heater core. Excellent product and cheaply priced.
I've been getting screwed by a shop for the past few months because I've had the same problem with my Chrysler. Thank you for this vid. You seem like you really care!
Thank you for the kind words and I'm sorry that someone took advantage of you. We see it a lot when customers come into the shop to see us after a bad experience with other shops that are just about turning hours and making money no matter the quality they produce.
The bastards replaced my thermostat and then an actuator and charged me up the ass.. even when I questioned them about it.. It still doesn't work. I'll check this out.
I have a 2011 Chrysler 200. Same issue. Flushed the HC just like this video, no hot water tho, let the cold water run more than 10 min. Now I have hot air on passenger side but slightly cooler than driver side. Great video, thanks.
Oh, I also had that clicking noise behind glove box, replaced that actuator as well. Actuator, air filter, garden hose adapter and a gallon of coolant cost me about 50$.
Go to ur local parts store and buy a radiator flush solution and follow the instructions. Usually the bottle has two sets of instructions. Follow the instructions for a severely clogged system.
@@GonzosGarage thanks for the follow up, I will probably wait on that step, now I have some hot air on passenger side. Coolant doesn't warm up fast, so will do this step when I replace the thermostat.
Did this turn into a permanent solution for you or did it come back? Thanks for your h help!
I like this guy no bull shit straight and the point on how to fix something not 30 mins of listening to him self talk just shows you how to get to work no fucking around, will watch his video from now on
Thanks for a great video. It's very helpful. I've had this problem with my 2008 Chrysler Sebring and all my local mechanic would say is "its something behind the dash". My nephew who is a mechanic but lives in another city told finally told me what could possibly be the problem. Your video nailed it. I just paid almost $300 to replace the thermostat housing, then I had to add freon cuz the A/C was not cooling. now the mechanic says I must have a leak some place. So, I guess I have to decide if I want to put more $ in a car that is going down.
Mine is a 2012 Dodge Avenger & I've had a similar problem for several yrs. I will talk to my mechanic & see if we can try this!! :) TY for the video! I'm crossing all fingers & toes ;)
UPDATE ! Chrysler 200 fix. Totally drain and flush the cooling system. DO NOT USE HOAT ANTIFREEZE AGAIN. EVER. The antifreeze is the problem. Switch to prestone OAT antifreeze and put a antifreeze coolant fliter inline with the heater hose going to the intake side of the heater core. This will fix this very common problem when Hoat antifreeze interacts negatively with cyclinder heads and or cooling system componets. Chrysler will not state this, but i will. Remember stay away from HOAT type antifreeze.
Appreciate it man. I noticed it being slimy when I changed the thermostat and still had the same issue. I'll try this tomorrow
Dude the way you explain things is awesome. Thank you
Thank you, I'm taking my Chrysler 200 into my mechanic next week and hope that he can fix the problem without it costing me an arm and a leg.
Can you give an update? Were you able to find a permanent solution so that it didn't turn into a recurring problem? Also what year/model do you have? Thanks for any help!
If you do have to change a heater core on these cars, there's a shortcut where you cut the pipes on the inside of car. With the shorter heater core pipes, you can change out the heater core w/o removing dash.
I’m having the heat issue right now with my 2012 200 thanks for the fix.
Thank you sir for the info. Great video without a bunch of fluff. And thank you for helping that lady and her boy. God bless you!
Thanks for the help. I have been researching this and could not not figure it out Great video
+Jason Reed Glad I could help. Hope it works out well for you.
Thanks bro. I'm a GM guy. This is my first Chrysler
No problem brother. Thats why I put it out there. If you want give the video a like and subscribe.
THANK YOU! This is exactly what my 2013 Chrysler 200 needed.
You are very welcome. Glad I could help
You did this yourself? I don’t want to get anything wrong
I did. But I've been working on cars for 20+ years. If u have more time than money... I believe it's doable for anyone
There's actually two thermostats inside that thermostat housing. One is a low temp. T-Stat that's actually for the heater core. Haven't talked to anybody else who knows this.That's one of the things that should be considered when somebody's getting into this. Also, all the factory HOAT coolant needs to be flushed out. Its reacting with the aluminum from the engine causing sludge to build up in the heater core and restricting, or completely blocking coolant flow. Just use typical universal antifreeze. Just a suggestion.
Thank you my friend you are a scholar and gentleman 🙏👍
My 2012 chrsyler 200s. Heat had all tbese problem. And I have found the heat works the best on circulate. Cuz mine barely does any heat even after flush. Just make sure u turn the ac off when u hit the circulate button
Thank you for making the video! Mine is doing the same thing
That's awesome, thanks! I figured this is what I was going to have to do but it damn sure helps to have a video to see what to hook up where. 8)
That's why I did one. Stay warm and hope this helps! Remember to smack that like button and subscribe!
Ill echo Williams statement. Have this problem as well, watch some online vids on flushing cooling system/heater core but couldn't figure out where to hook up. So glad you did this, even happier I found it. Liked and subbed!! Many thanks
I suggest using some coolant flush or heater core flush if you can find that. It's a detergent made to loosen up the the jelled up coolant. Let it sit for as long as you can, even over night if possible.
What I did was pretty much the same as in this vid but then added the flush and let it sit for awhile. I did just a back flush a few months ago and it worked for a few months but then BAM! Same issue no heat on passenger side. Did it again with the coolant flush, so we'll see how long this works. Really don't want to buy a new heater core. I would suggest when refilling your coolant having the vehicle so the front end is raised. This will allow for air to easily rise up through the rad. Helping to remove any air locks on the system.
I agree if it's gotten that bad or returns after a short time use a flush solution. I would follow the manufacturer instructions tho. I feel the people that invented it probably knows the product and what it can do better than I do. LOL
@@GonzosGarage it's a bit better now but not much. I'm hoping it improves. Though I feel I'll have to replace the heater core.
I got a 2012 Avenger that's doing the same thing and they're saying something else is wrong with that the the antifreeze is clean it doesn't run hot runs good but I will try that on my car thanks for posting that
No problem and hope it helped. If you have dual climate control it could be another problem besides clogged heater corw
Thanks for the video 👍👍
Thanks for the comment. It keeps me motivated to help out when I can.
I have the 13 town and country and my heater core got so clogged up it cause a gushing leak in the hose to the rear core which blew my head gasket (overheat condition) because lost coolant and pressure .......... I rolled the dice trying to get home without a tow and lost. Good thing is poured in some gasket sealer which solved it at least temporarily for me but .......... be warned having no heat is a pretty big symptom to not ignore ....... it could lead to stranding you
Great video! Now I just wish I had the 2.4 engine, since it seems like all the videos dealing with radiator flush/heater core flush are for those motors. Problem is, I've got a 3.6 engine in my 2012 Chrysler 200S, and things just don't seem to add up. I took off the two heater hoses going into the firewall to flush the heater core (I've got no heat, A/C works fine, no overheating, blend doors all working, what else can it be?) but when I run the garden hose through either one of those heater hoses, water comes out from the aluminum pipes where the heater hoses were connected. WTF?
I planned to run some radiator flush through the whole cooling system too, but found out the hard way that half the front of the car has to be taken off just to get to the drain plug on the radiator; when I did take off all the splash guards & stuff, then I found that no matter what I tried I couldn't get that drain plug to budge, mostly because I can't get a good grip on it with any tool I have. That put a pause on running radiator flush chemicals, since I still have to use the car until I've got another opportunity to work on it, and I don't want to leave them in the system for maybe a week.
So now I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver a drain petcock socket tool, which hopefully will at least let me get this damned drain plug open. Whoever designed this Chrysler must've really hated maintenance people; this is by far, without any close contenders whatsoever, the hardest car to work on that I've ever owned! (Changed headlamps a few months ago, that took over 5 hours & cut my hands & arms to pieces. No wonder that's a $350 job at the dealers!)
Thanks guy!!!
more mechanics like you nedded
Just did my 11 avenger buy new core uncrimp lines slide old out and put new in and recrimp under dash, only problem was first core was a ebay cheap and too thin bought a napa one a lot thicker at the crimp
Hey buddy nice video I was wondering I have a 2007 sebring ,and in my case I live in Florida very hot!..the driver side blowing hot and the passenger side not so cool ..do I have to do what u did on the video .thanks,
Florida.....U trying to get the heat to work or the AC. It's in the middle of the summer right now 🤯
my 2013 Chrysler 200 2.4L is doing the same thing, I'm going to attempt the heater core flush however what was the adapter used for the garden hose to the heater core hoses?
just a water hose repair end from the garden center at Walmart I had laying around
Im having the same issue 2010 2.7l sebring. I just replaced the thermostat but still very little heat and coolant is coming out of the overflow while running.
Is there a solution you can run through to remove the gunk and then flush and refill?
Great video! I have a question! I just replaced the thermostat housing in my 2013 Dodge dart 2.0. I accidentally broke the quick connect on the hose. I looked everywhere for a new connection but all I could find is the quick connect WITH a hose. Do you recommend replacing the hose connected to the heater core? Or just remove the new quick connect and add it to the existing hose? Thank you! 😁👍
Usually u can get just the hose end from ur local parts store. I know u can on the Fords and Chevrolets. But if u are buy the hose with the end.... replace it all. U paid for it. Might as well use it
@@GonzosGarage okay thank you! Do I need to flush the heater core before removing the hose?
I've had this same issue with my 2010 sebring for years. We replaced the heater core first. Fixed the issue for one winter. Summer came and went, and the problem was back. Mechanic flushed it like you did. Fixed it for the winter, then it came back by the time I needed heat again the next fall. My husband now has to flush it every fall for me to have heat in the winter. It's crap. He's checked the type of coolant, and it's the right kind...is it possible they are recommending the wrong coolant?
In extreme cases such as yours the radiator and block need to be flushed with proper solution as well. That should prevent it from happening again.
It's caused by sand some heads some engines weren't properly flushed leaving sand in the cooling system.
Yup my 2013 Chrysler 200 3.6 the coolant reservoir was full of sand
Thanks for all the excellent advice and replys . Ive got the system almost in full working order..my last question sir is..I know the actuator behind center of dash is for temp selection..the actuator on right center moves when I select vent.. floor... defrost...what does the actuator on side of cabin airfilter container do? 2012 chrysler 200 cheers !!!
Fresh air or recirculation of cabin air
Section 8 Automotive you the man mango cheers !
Ty sir
Alan Murray you are very welcome
nice video..my car weird..its 2011 chrysler 200 s v6. some heat drivers side no heat pass..but cooling temperature gauge only reaches 1st line supposed to reach halfway for normal temperature. any ideas I replaced thermostat it wasn't it.
+Ken Ross sounds like the heater core is clogged..... but the issue with the engine temp not reaching operating temperature usually says thermostat. I have seen new ones bad out of the box but not likely. You may want to try the heater core flush since it can be done at home for cheap then take it in to get the low operating temp checked out by your trusty technician.
when you start the car and get a running water sound and you also are getting less warm air from passenger side ....is that a good indicator that the flush may help....most concerning is being able to hear running water through a pvc pipe sound ...cheers !!
Alan Murray .... yeah it could be a flush issue. But most the time a running water sound means you have air in ur system also
Section 8 Automotive I'll burp the bitch first !
@@feboogi How do ya go about doing that
@@scotthowerton3781 at 45 seconds between his thumb and finger you see a black hole ...he removed it but in that will be a black plastic screw....back it off slowly when car is at operating temperature ...it will let air out, tighten up when fluid starts to trickle out ...then when car cools down check yoyr coolant bottle level ....easy peezy.
I have same problem except there’s also also a clicking noise that comes from the center vent on the passenger side. It randomly happens usually when warming the car up (it stops if set to circulated air) but will also do it when car is not running...? It does this with the A/C too (which also does not blow as cold as it should on passenger side). Do you think the clicking is related? Also: do you think A/C and heater maybe share the same problem re: weak temp? Thank you for the video! 👍🙏
That clicking sound is ur blend door actuator. It's a common problem. It is the reason ur AC doesn't cool properly and your heater doesn't heat like it should.
Thank you for the video. I have a couple questions. Since it's -10° here, doesn't look like I can do since I don't have a heated garage. What is the cost to get the heater core flushed? Will any mechanic do it?
Any mechanic can do it. Cost varies so much you will just have to shop around
@@GonzosGarage $300 & $350 is what I've been quoted. I think it sounds steep. Gonna keep looking
@@frankm6162 that's a little pricey, but what do u do? ...... it would cost half that here in our little town
Wow...Cost me over $3000 last winter...Replaced the water pump, thermostat, and radiator on a 2011 Chrysler 200. Heat worked good when I got it back, but now this winter, no heat again!! You can hear gurgling when you take off from a stop sometimes.
Sounds like you may have air in the cooling system. That could be way you’re not getting heat.
Oh no. So your experience has been that there is no permanent solution to this problem?
@Al for some it seems not, but on mine I replaced EVERYTHING (heater core, radiator, oil cooler, thermostat, radiator cap, etc…). AND I flushed the crap out of the engine block and what looked like to be sand came out. Not sure if that’s what it was but something came out for sure
My 2012 Chrysler 200 doesnt have the radiator cap where that one is.mine is on a plastic jug kind of thing but on the passenger side.i cant get to my heater hoses
How long will it last with just flushing the heater core and not replacing everything?
Alex Carpenter should last thru the winter depending on how bad your slug build up is.
Omg i need to do this. How long did it take? It's really cold here in AK
45min or so
Looks like more than a heater core issue but good video.
No it fixed it and we did another full system flush during the following summer while the car was in for a radiator hose and cooling fan repair
I have a 2013 chrysler 200 3.6L. Same issue. Except I can hear the "running water" noise when I start my car in the morning. I'm sure this will fix mine too. But I don't have the required coolant, since Chrysler says to use Mopar 10year I believe. All my actuators are working peoperly, all blend doors are moving properly. Either clogged or has air trapped in it. Either way this will fix clogged and air trap right?
taylor day all makes and models say use their products only. That's just marketing their products over the competition. Use what is compatible with your vehicle and get it from your local parts store. Not the dealer. Way to expensive.
Yes this should fix your issue either eay
+taylor day ..... yes this will do the trick
+taylor day yes. If you have air trapped in your system you need to bleed the system until you are confident all air is gone. Then after driving for a day or so check it again and add coolant if levers are low. If they are low then there was you missed the first go around.
I have the same issue on my 2012 200 2.4 the heat works on driver side. And cold air on passenger. I tried doing a simple flush with a water hose. Still no heat. How long do I flush the heater core out for ? And is it best to use hot water other than cold water ?
Kimberly Cobb I let this particular run for 20+ minutes. I did use hot water and made sure it ran in reverse of the natural flow of the system. There are solution you can purchase that will help break up any build up. If that still doesn't work then your heater will have to be changed.
Kimberly Cobb do you fixed the problem?
I just experienced the exact same problem 2012 Chrysler 200 just turned 30,000 miles no heat on passenger side, I would like to do this but it is -7 below outside any suggestions? Also, I just made an appointment with the dealer for next week!
Get a flush kit from ur local parts store and freeze ur butt off. Follow the instructions on the flush kit. Then do what I did in this video. Its gonna suck but the end result will be nice and warm.
I have heat on driver side but not on passenger side but the vent actuator on passenger side is clicking as well should I change actauor first then see if heater core needs to be flushed
Yes
What type of connector did you use to connect you water hose??
I used a garden hose repair fitting. Its a female fitting with a barb style end that can slide inside the upper heater hose. The upper heater hose has a 5/8" inner diameter.
So just to be sure, u completely drain the coolant first? The plug on the bottom seems really hard to get to
NO...no need to drain the coolant first.
2012 Chrysler 200 touring 3.6 6cyl… 170k miles, orig owner. just got a new radiator, thermostat, ac condenser, oil coolant sensor replacement, and just recently exchanged the whole coolant reservoir. And topped with 50/50 peak coolant.
Car ran about a needles width below the halfway mark for a few months then it started going from halfway to the 3/4 again….
Still having thermometer regularly switch from halfway up to the 3/4 mark daily while driving no matter the outside temps. Never above 3/4 tho. Don’t seem to have any leaks but also Haven’t pressure tested the system but will do that soon.
I have heard the fluid sloshing sound from what sounds like in front of the steering wheel for years now. Heater hasn’t worked in years. I just deal with it. But wondering if this flush would impact the temps of the cooling system?
Could this be the cause of having air in the system may be causing the minor to significant high running temps?
Yes air in the cooling system is best case scenario and most likely... worst case. There is a blockage in the water passages in the block.
Is this the same cause for the A/C blowing war air on the driver’s side and cold air on passenger’s side? How much work involves replacing the heater core?
Do u have dual climate control AC? If so it could be a blend door
I don’t believe I do. I do have a 2011 Chrysler 200 that I purchased few months ago. The previous owner mentioned an identical issue like your video. Nevertheless, the A/C was working properly until just recently where the problem has inverted to cold air coming out from the passengers side and warm from the drivers side. I wonder if both issues are related. Thank you for help!
sounds like something is blocking the air flow not coolant flow. I would start there.... blend door maybe. that's a tuff one
is there a coolant bleeder valve on a chrysler 200 ? I back flushed the heater core and seems to have improved fairly well whoop !!!!!!!
Alan Murray off the top of my head I don't think there is. But double check me on that. The more you flush it the better it will be. I flushed this customers heater core twice and it got even better the second time around.
Alan Murray yes and two fans
There is no bleeder valve for the 2.4l engine. I work on these engines I know them front and back. However you can pull the coolant temp sensor at the top of the thermostat housing and fill the system till you see coolant come out then plug it again. Watch my channel for how to remove air from this kind of engine and all problems that can occur with the engine that are over looked. Hope this helps!
@@chryslerforums4331 2.4 cooling system bleeder
Cant do that in the middle of winter. Is there another way ?
Use flush solution from the parts store if you have no way of using hot water. The flush kit wont freeze and refill your system with antifreeze when you are done. Its gonna suck if you are doing it outside but it's the only way I know of doing it.
CAN we use vinegar to flush heater core like cleaning coffee pot?
I have heard that before but never tried it. I would go the safe route and use a actual flush solution if this doesn't fix your problem
I would recommend against that. Vinegar is an acid and corrosion is not something you want in your cooling system. When you clean your coffee pot you are using the acid to remove salt and mineral deposits that area result of the distillation process from boiling hard water. The clogs in heater cores are usually caused by a build up of corrosion
@@dzapper7 very true. Never really thought about it that way..... but never considered using it either lol
My wife's does that but sometimes there's some coolant in pass. floorboard. Probably gonna have to change the core, huh.
Yes sir
Hey I had the same issue but now its not blowing at all but the defrost works
+Shikila Talley that sounds like a totally different issue
+Shikila Talley i would take it to a local repair shop. The sludge build up could be pretty extensive.
me again lol Im trying to figure out if one does not have dual climate control how does heat come out of one side and cool out the other , being only one vent split four ways...are there two fans blowing through the heater core...im stummped lol cheers mang
Alan Murray .... lol no problem. coolant is only travelling thru half the heater core . So the half of the heater core that warms the passenger side air has clogged coolant passages due to it is the bottom half of said heater core and this is where the slug settles. The heater core ducts and vents are the exact same no matter if you have climate control or not. Only the blend doors and hvac controls are different. If someone that has dual climate experiences this they could have blend door issues OR clogged heater core
I have the same problem with my '12 200 cold passenger heat. I flushed but not as long as gonzo recommended. I also do not have a hot water tap to use.
Did it work? 🤞
@@GonzosGarage Not really, I didn't really flush that long. I am going to try a cleaner in the system next.
Does that work for the a/c as well
+dirtock no sorry.
The passenger side no heat then the drivers side as well. Prior to this, there was a loud clicking noise behind the glove box It seemed like the heater doors inside were not opening and closing properly. No heat now no clicking sound.
What could be the problem.
that sounds like a blend door issue. they are aggravating as hell. if you are a patient person take it to your local shop and have it checked out.
Was the car running when you were flushing the heater core with water?
no
I see and one more question if you dont mind. After flushing the heater core and reattaching the hoses did you just right of the bat just added coolant or did you flush all of the coolant out first
@@ralf1450 in this case flushing just the heater core solved the issue for a while. The customer did come in last week and I flushed the entire system with a flush solution made by prestone
Thanks this is the problem I'm having,where are you located.
+Shikila Talley .... We are located in Cairo Ga
What do you use to flush the water through it? My 2013 is doing the same thing.
Danny Rash are you asking what fluid or what fitting I used?
Section 8 Automotive I suppose both lol. I’ve done my fair share of automotive stuff such as brake pad replacement, oil changes, diesel filter changes, but that’s about as advanced as I’ve gotten. Is this hard to do? Like what do you have the hose connected to to flush water through the heater? I’ve never done any flushing
Danny Rash I used a simple water hose fitting from the home and garden section and you can use "radiator flush" from the parts store or just straight water out of the faucet.
Section 8 Automotive okay sweet. How did you pump it through?
Danny Rash you don't pump the flush solution thru. You add it to the system and run the car for a while. Just follow the instructions on the bottle.
Chrysler fixed my wife's car for free last year now she's having the same problem again 🤦🏾♂️
can we use CLR or some other de-calcifier?
It may work. Never tried it before.
No clr doesnt work good on aluminum
It's a common problem. based on my research it is my belief that the real problem is the Dex Cool Antifreeze that is called organic acid technology. The antifreeze is what is sludging up. if the car is out of warranty I would totally drain and flush the coolant system and I would put conventional green antifreeze back in the car. Problem solved
Hey , so my car is leaking water/coolant from the reservoir and there's steam coming through my defrost vent my thermostat rises but only in the middle my car doesn't smoke from the radiator and there's no water on my carpet inside my car . ... what do you think is wrong ?
Well that's not a simple question at all. The steam from the defrost vent could still be a leaking heater core even tho you dont have wet carpet. I would suggest taking it to a shop only because trying to troubleshoot ur issue on just speculation and not being able to properly diagnose the issue can be an expensive and aggravating way to attempt to fix ur car after much of ur time and money has been spent.
Sorry I couldn't have a better answer but in my years doing this work I've seen it happen to so many people.
Did you just use a normal hose to run the water through it?
Yeah. Nothing special.
And what kind of adapter for the hose?
@@dylanleblanc8591 to attach the water hose to the heater hose, it was the male side of a larger garden hose repair kit from Walmart I had laying around.
Unfortunately you will have to do it every year tii you deal with th prob...learned from experience on 2013 200
Please explain why I have heat from hell on the drivers side and iced air on the passenger side and only one coil?
Lower half the heater core is clogged with the the sludgy substance I show in the video. This substance settles, clogging lower half of heater core and the lower half of the heater core heats the air for the passenger side. So all the heated antifreeze/coolant is flowing thru the top of the core making the driver side feel like the gates of hell opened up.
Gonzo's Garage ok...thank you
My 2013 Chrysler 200 is leaking inside my dashboard and the driver side and back is all wet. Smokes comes through the vents even when the A/C is not on. And the passenger side heater don't work when its on...
Sounds like ur heater core needs replacing. Most likely a simple flush wont fix ur issues
I have this same problem but its a 2011 probly same thing right?
Very likely
Omg having the same problem..
+L. Chill T. Well i hope this video helps. Its the reason I do it. Just want to help
I need help!!!! My chrysler isnt making a clicking or knocking sounds, its actually hard to describe the sound that it is actually making. The noise is driving me nuts!!!!!! My heat is also not working. Single mom here with two boys, could someone help me out?!
do you know what the code means for Amp 560-3 on the 200
No
2011 Dodge no cold air on pass. Side ?
That's most likely a blend door issue. Flushing the coolant system wont help
My mechanic is telling me it's a heater housing assembly and is wanting to charge me $470. I can't find a part store that even knows what that part is???? Help
There are actually 3 blend door actuators in these cars. It a 30 dollar part
Technically yes. But only two control the temperature in a dual climate control system. The third controls what vents the air blows out of.
I was having the same problem but then the passenger side all of a sudden started working again on its own and this is recent
Did it come back? Or have you been able to find a permanent solution?
The 4-cylinder does not have the sludge build up issues that the 2.7 V6 has, but it does have it for those who can't change the oil every 4,000 miles.
The build up I am talking about is in the coolant system. I even showed the sludge I was talking about in the video where the radiator cap goes. Changing your oil regularly has nothing to do with the inner workings of the cooling system.
@@GonzosGarage It is not sludge in the radiator it is paraffin wax from the antifreeze breaking down.
@@andrewarmstrong7310 I understand that. But it still doesn't have anything to do with changing your oil on a regular basis.
Everything i have found says to flush the coolant system.
Yeah. That is for more extreme cases. This customers only real issue was she had no heat on the passenger side. If there are other coolant systems problems then I would recommend going that far. She had a thermostat and radiator replacement the year prior.
@@GonzosGarage i just did both today on my chrysler 200. The rad drain and flush was a pain in the ass and a half. Dam petcock is in the worst position lol, actually broke a pair of needle nose trying to reach and turn it lol. Super easy to do the heater core though. You gave a couple pretty good tips too. 1 thing i would suggest though to help reduce spillage and the mess. A pair of vice grips with some tough rubber or even some tape around the ends just to clamp the hoses. I also reconnected my houses in reverse to change the flow direction. Just made sense to me, you know. If the coolant is always going 1 direction then build up would be in that direction. If i change the direction of flow then it might help to break up that build up better over time, as long as you can any way depends on the car i know some styles you can't. Any way good vid.
You are god man, I have a 2013 200 purchased in 2015 same thing happen the first winter (Tank God still had warranty) but the funny part is that when I toke it to the dealer I opened the discharge reservoir cap and it was full of MUD so I ask the service guy, WHY is there MUD in my cooling system??,,, he said of is oooo don't worry is normal it happens with the antifreeze so you just need to replace it, I said bring the Mechanic I want to talk to him.... big mistake WHY? mechanics don't give a shit about the " screts" that some times the Service Manager and Service advisors know and try not to tell the customers (belive ir or not that is the way it is ) SO THE MECHANIC said OOH ! Yes I´ve seen that problem with all vehicles with the 2.4L manufactured in from 2012 to 2013 AS fasr as he "understood" the service bulletin they received was that the DUM ASSESE building the engine didnt CLEAN the sand that is used to MOLD the meted iron to fabricate the engine block.... I saiD WHAT??. Bring the Service Manager NOW! so to make the long story short, I got
1) Super flushed the system (I DEMANDED TO BE THERE TO SEE)
2) New radiator
3) New Heater core
4) New Thermostat assembly
5) New Reseivor tank
6) New Colling system cap!
7) New Hoses
I hop they didnt fired the Mechanic
I said Never in my life has heard anyone saying that is "normal" to have MUD in the cooling system
He is right about one thing. There are contaminants in the manufacturing/casting process that wasn't cleaned out properly, believed to be the sand but never proven, this has a reaction with the antifreeze/coolant that causes the impurities to release out into the cooling system and gels. Later starts to harden and settle to the bottom of all the engine components you mentioned. Eventually cause lose of heat in HVAC and in extreme cases causes engine over heating. It wasn't a recall because it wasn't a safety issue so it became a Service Bulletin. By law they are not required to notify car owners of Service Bulletins just Recalls. F'ed up ain't it!?
That's my problem.
Yup another Chrysler 2013 added to the bunch of no heat on the passenger side, will attempt to flush mine when the temp gets above freezing, at least I have heat on driver side and I do not carry passengers as I am single, lonely, have no friends, maybe I will just run my vehicle off a cliff instead and that will fix my no heat issues. By the way before I go you do not have to flash to "subscribe" on your vids, this day and age everyone knows what to do if they like the vid or not. That is just an annoyance. Just say'in.
I put the "subscribe" stuff in there because some dont know like you do... And I think I know why u r single with no friends. Good luck with ur car.
😅😅😅😅 chill out.... It just a lil water
Dex Cool Antifreeze. Another crappy invention by a engineer. # never leave a engineer alone
+Rondell Schuyler .... Preach it brother!!! in my line of work I shake my everyday and just ask "WHY!" then I usually follow that with some colorful language.
