The Dude Abides Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just curious if theres airflow on the outside of the window as well as the inside. I only seem to have flow on the inside and im curious if its suspost to be on both. Takes a while to clean the windows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 i dont think there is any airflow on the outside of the window. would be a waste of heat. mine takes a while too but my ducting has a hole somewhere... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) There is only ducting to the inside of the windows. The outside is taken care of by the wipers. How hot is your heat? Speed is relative to how moist the inside of the car is and how hot your coolant is / how good your heater core flows - and you of course need the damper doors to be working to direct that hot air to the windsheild.

The Dude Abides Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Its hot but i wouldnt doubt it needs flushed. Just one of many things i wont get to again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just get one of those flush kits for a couple bucks and splice it into the heater core return line (the one going to the water pump). Hookup a hose and flush away. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 U know GD I have one installed there already. I dont understand how its suspost to work though, How can you flush it if it only goes one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's all in how you use it. With the garden hose adaptor spliced into the return line of the core, you can then disconnect the supply line, and crimp off the return line on the water pump side of the hose fitting (vise grips and some quarters or washers). Then when you turn the water on it will force all the pressure through the heater core in reverse of the normal flow (and typically at much higher pressure and volume than the core usually see's). This will blow out any accumulated debris through the supply hose and (hopefully) improve flow through the core. You can put some radiator flush in the core - disconnect both lines to the core, fill it through BOTH hoses till it's full, and tie the hoses up so the flush stays in the core. Wait the prescribed time interval for the stuff to work, then flush as per my previous directions. It's really very simple and takes little time.
