No Heat when Car is Not Moving
Hello Everyone,
I have a 2005 Altima 2.5S that will not blow any heat out of the vents when the car is not moving. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and as you know it is very cold here in the winter. When the car is moving, I get heat blowing no matter where the selector switches are set, but as soon as the car stops moving, even for a red light, within 5 seconds the air turns cold. And the colder the day, the colder the air. No matter how I set the selectors switches, it just keeps blowing cold air. But then when the car starts moving again, the air turns hot within seconds. I am making an appointment with my dealer next week to have this looked at but I would like to have an idea of what might be the problem before I go in as I know nothing about cars and don't want to get taken. If you can give me some suggestions of what it might be or what to ask or try. Thanks allot, Patrick Sudbury, Ontario |

You probably have air pockets inside the cooling system. Try bleeding the system first.

Thanks for the tip.
Follow-up question... what are common ways for air to get into the cooling system? Patrick |

Bad radiator cap or leak in the cooling system.
