I posted on the Pathfinder forum last year and got no expertise there so perhaps you fuckers can figure this out.
2005 Pathfinder 4.0 VQ engine.
Had this for about 2 years now, engine runs perfect, does not use a drop of coolant.
Fucking heat is not there.
I can bled the system (nose up on a hill, lid off expansion tank, rev over 3k for 5 mins or so) heat will get burn you out hot.
For the next few days it is pretty hot then it gets cold and will not get hot again until I bleed it again.
Blend doors are functioning correct.
It seems that air gets in the system and reduces / stops flow to the heater core.
This truck does have the rear heat and a fuck ton of piping for the heater cores.
I have heard of a "seep" before which is a tiny leak somewhere that allows air into the system.
This is my winter vehicle so heat is important.
I have not pressurized the system with a tester yet, should that be my next step?
So far I have changed the thermostat, checked the coolant booster (it works), and currently covered 2/3 the front of the radiator with cardboard.
Nothing makes a difference except for bleeding the system, that is the only thing that makes a difference.
Thoughts?
