topic: ``Trying to help cooling by having the heater on, to avoid overheating. ``
It became a very interesting thread. I`m happy it came up! Thanks to everyone for the detailed, awesome write-ups.
Later on I`ll share my experiences/experiments with the heater.
Rethinking it again, I found a dusty thread that mentions info that relates to this.
Ngoma you wrote that
...``That heater coolant valve is normally open at rest. Vacuum closes it. System was designed to flow coolant always thru the heater core, except when A/C set to max. Also, the butterfly flap in the valve, when open, is really only open about 30%.``...
May I ask what`s the case if my AC is not functional? I have no belt on+ compr frozen or clutch bad, idk. (I never struggled much to solve what`s wrong with it. I should have... but the killer Summer is over soon. ) Thanks.
