Thank you Sir for sharing this knowledge.Your wisdom in this field is priceless. You should be teaching in a University so others will have the opportunity to learn from you. Taught like a true Professor.
Thank you for this video. As a girlie girl, I know nothing of engines (or anything else) on how a vehicle works, but am trying to learn. This is a great explanation of how the heater works.
So that’s why the heat or air isn’t really ‘effective’ when you turn it on right after starting.. the coolant doesn’t kick on until the engine reach 195 degrees! Finally get it. Awesome stuff man.
Looking this up because my radiator fan died and my car overheated I can’t afford a new fan rn but I learned that the heat comes from your engine so keeping my heater on full blast highest temperature and air circulation off been keeping my engine at normal temperature
Some people say the main reason the TFI fails is due to heat. I know the thermal paste helps transfer the heat, but the module is still under the cap. Would it possibly make sense to mount the TFI on a bigger heatsink mounted externally to the firewall? I believe GM 96-97 models are mounted externally and I'm considering modifying my setup and try a 4 pin external TDI. What do you think? BTW, very helpful information, you explain it very well. Thank you!
Its not just the heat itself, its the fact that it goes hot and cold again and again and thats called the thermal stress. This problem is just a oversight by the manufacturers.
Ty for showing me how my heater works! Im trying to figure out why I get a really rich gas smell when yhe heater is on, but is fine when the a/c is on. I noticed since that started happening my mpg has taken a hit. But there isnt a visible fuel leak anywhere.
I was trying to find out why my heat on my passenger side of my car is lukewarm. I replaced all the actuators but it didn’t help I think I will try a heater core flush in the spring.
Does the thermostat control coolant flow to the internal heater radiator or does the internal heater controls instantly let cool/cold coolant flow through the heater radiator? I'm thinking of adding a hot coolant storage tank on my car and I think the heater loop may be a good place as the valve is already controllable.
So my A.C stops working. Light is on but no air comes out. Also no heat. I hit a bump a few days later my A.C and heat work again. Could this be my A.C compressor? Is my interior heater also connected to the A.C compressor?
I have a Saturn SL1 2002, i'm having trouble with the heat. The fan motor is running perfectly, but I have very low blowing power inside the car. When I put it on air recirculation the air power is perfect, I can feel the blow is normal. Very strange. I thought I had could simply clean the cabin filter, but apparently there is none on this car. Any advice ? Thanks
No dual control, Hot air coming out of driver's side vent but cool air coming out of passenger side when heater is on. I was thinking about blockage but if there is some kind of blockage then would would cool air come out of passenger side, there should not be any air coming out then. any idea any oe?
Great video, I wanted to know more about how heat works in detail, just for fun cause I'm cool like that, and this gentleman provided clear and ordered information that resulted in me having a solid understanding of exactly that. No bs. To the point. You're awesome man.
Does the heater valve control both the inlet and outlet of the heater core? If this is the case i assume the heater core will always have coolant in it? Thanks
No it wont because the excess coolant will just sit in the coolant tank also why would you block the connection letting the coolant go to the heater core
No it doesn't consume gas like the aircon because it is just passing the heat from the engine through a blower motor into the car, while the aircon requires more power to regulate the temperature of the air i.e cold air and therefore consumes more gas.
i have dual heat its 30 degrees and i need the heat to work it works fine ont eh drivers side but the passenger side blows cold why would this be happening?
Drives me crazy when someone in the car will try and get hot air the minute the engine is started and you end up with freezing cold air blown on you for a few minutes. Much better to wait for the engine to warm up.
Only premium grade human beings wonder how this works. Great video
hahaha thanks
You know it.
Agree
@@pfkmsandiego thumbs up for San Diego
Lol
it cracks me up how he's using a screwdriver as a pointer... true mechanic
this is off the chain. I was cracking up for the same reason lol
At last,someone who explained an operation clearly, so I could understand. Thankyou.

as a boyie boy i also came here to learn no shame in gaining knowledge
So that’s why the heat or air isn’t really ‘effective’ when you turn it on right after starting.. the coolant doesn’t kick on until the engine reach 195 degrees! Finally get it. Awesome stuff man.
Great explanation!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Very good explanation, you should make more car videos like this, really loved and understood this!!!
agreed

Very well explained
My car make water running sound and water suction sound under dash where heater core is. How can i get rid off

blower motor , you should hit with your fist
Hi. To disable heater core in old car, shd we use bypass hose or stoppers on heater hoses on engine side?
Perfect presentation, well done!
I appreciate this! Love the cooling systems of the cars. But just now did I wonder how the car can blow hot air! 😅
Clear explanation! Thankyou!

Beautiful. Everything made sense. Thank you
High quality explanation, thanks🎉🙏👌
Hey man...if you block the coolent from goint to the heater will it affect the engine in anyway? Like increasing the pressure inside or something
No it wont because the excess coolant will just sit in the coolant tank also why would you block the connection letting the coolant go to the heater core
So the compressor is not on heating ?
My muffler broken in my engine bay. Am I poisoning myself with the heat on car idling?
My moms dodge darango blows hot air as soon as you turn it on, anyone know if that’s a bad thing?
Anybody know how i can get code from a Honda Civic 2013 on the A/C? My heater is not working is stop just like that.
Great job!
Excellent video mate.
Does the heater slows down the engine? Does the heater consume gas like the aircon?
The fan on the heater core is not a power take off (PTO) so therefore it does not increase the load on the engine like an A/C compressor would
No it doesn't consume gas like the aircon because it is just passing the heat from the engine through a blower motor into the car, while the aircon requires more power to regulate the temperature of the air i.e cold air and therefore consumes more gas.
“AWESOME JOB!”
This was amazing. Thanks
i have dual heat its 30 degrees and i need the heat to work it works fine ont eh drivers side but the passenger side blows cold why would this be happening?
ronald walters could be a broken blend door
Lol I don't even own a car and I'm learning this because why not
Drives me crazy when someone in the car will try and get hot air the minute the engine is started and you end up with freezing cold air blown on you for a few minutes. Much better to wait for the engine to warm up.
why I can feel fuel smell inside my car With the heating on?
You will likely will need a replacement cabin filter.
It is not going to be the cabin filter, first of all what car do u have
Let me guess, you have a Civic (2016 or so or after -- 2020) or a CR-V or SI with same years?
Very helpful
Very good
thanks.
