Hey gang, well like the titles says, I flushed my heater core with CLR last night, and had it soak for a good 50 minutes, with one forward and one reverse flush and an air burp of the cooling system, and the cabin was absolutely heavenly in the 5f degree (-15c) Canadian Winter. But 24 hours later, as I headed out for a 40 minute trip to play simulator golf in town, I had almost zero heat. When I got to my destination my fingers and toes were blue from the cold and could not even feel the club in my hands, luckily my friend had spare chemical hand warmers for me on the way back.
....so what's the deal? I felt the heater core outlet hose after I parked it in the garage and it was lukewarm, pretty much the same as before I did the flush, while the inlet house was burned my fingers. Mind you, the outlet hose was very hot after the flush yesterday.
From my understanding, it seems like might be containments in the system that clogged the heater core again? So is a full cooling system flush in order here?
Thanks!
