i have a 2000 Honda Civic EX that has a heater issue. All year it blows warm air and during the winter it will not generate enough heat to keep it warm. Since these vehicles, or at leat I thought, have great heaters I was wondering what the problem?s) might be? Any assistance would be reatly appreciated.

 

have you checked your coolant level lately?

 

Coolant level is good. I'm going to flush the system and see if that helps. Is there a water type valve inline with the heater hose? Could this be an issue?

 

Is there a thermostat in it or did someone remove it?[sm=welcomesign.gif]to the forum.

 

Well I'd hope it would not be something that obvious but I'll check......and thanks for the grand welcoming.

 

welcome to hcf. if its not the thermostat it could be the heater core

 

either that or the fact u live in ALASKA!!!..lol jk welcome HCF man!

 

it will be getting cold soon and it would be great to solve this little issue that I have. Is the heater core behind the dash or on the firewall of the car? Is this something a DIY could do? Are there sites with step by step directions? any help would be great

 

the heater core is in the dash in the heater box near the blower motor. as for a diy job ive never done one in a civic

 

I wouldnt know. There is also a possibility that the blower is done. Who knows tho? My old Accord did he same thing.

My 00 Civic bakes me out of the car.
