heater not getting hot

35

Asked by hotdogsc3000 Dec 09, 2018 at 11:37 AM about the 1995 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

95 buick lesabre custom. I had the timing chain replaced about 2 weeks ago,
Since then my heat is not getting hot. Have flushed radiator & heater core.
Have new water pump & thermostat.  Checked all hoses to make sure their
in the right place. Checked blend door actuator. Everything is good so far but
still not hot. When heat is not running I can feel hot air at vent but as soon as
I turn heat or defrost on is gets cooler. Any help would be appreciated.

You might have the A/C on by accident and it will dilute the hot air. Also, during reassembly, the serpentine belt may have been routed the wrong way around the water pump pulley and now spins backwards, won't pump. Look for a belt routing label to confirm correct installation.

No the a/c isn't on by accident & the serpentine belt is routed correctly. Thank you

Might be air trapped in the cooling system. Top up the radiator and the overflow bottle a few times after it's driven.
