Any other tricks I could try, or should I just replace it? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 9, 2011, 9:12 AM Post #2 of 3 (2968 views) Re: Flushing a clogged heater core Sign In I think water has the chance to work better and watch what comes out if anything. Follow up with air probably won't hurt but don't overdo it or you'll blow it with too much pressure with either, T samg. User Nov 20, 2011, 7:42 PM Post #3 of 3 (2924 views) Re: Flushing a clogged heater core Sign In Are you for sure the heater core is plugged? If so, just water. The clog will normally come out first, then run water through til it comes out clear, keep running it for a few seconds, don't blow air in there...it's a 96, lord knows how corroded that thing can be, hate to blow a chunk out. Make sure you bleed the coolant.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
