For possible future reference
Sent a post called "where did my heat go" and received zero replies.
Now I know why. Here's the deal. Shut the heat off under the hood using the valve on the passenger's side on the firewall. Wanted to get the heat back yesterday, so I moved the valve the other way. No heat. Checked today and found the fan/alternator belt was way loose. The bolt that holds the alternator bracket to the block was broken. Everything had gradually shifted. The water pump wasn't turning, hence - no heat. Everything is fine now, but I don't want to remove a broken bolt in the head again. PITA. Hope this helps someone down the road. |
