| Apr 20, 2016 at 11:26 | comment | added | Bevan | @ben are you telling me that Chevrolet in all their advanced vehicle technology, have a heater core thatched permanently filled with blistering hot water irrespective of whether it is needed or not, that's nestled up in the dash and cooking the life out of the whole heater box even in the middle of summer? Seems a bit bizarre to this poor New Zealander!! | |
| Apr 20, 2016 at 11:16 | comment | added | Bevan | @ben, and as I said, be it a water or air valve, it's stuck. As its an air flap/ valve... look at the actuating mechanism for breakage, obstruction or malfunction | |
| Apr 14, 2016 at 20:42 | comment | added | Ben | On the Equinox there isn't a water valve the heater core always see's coolant. Like Lynn Crumbling said in his answer air temp. is controlled by the blend door. | |
| Apr 13, 2016 at 5:02 | comment | added | Bevan | The heat has to come from somewhere - and be it a water or air valve, it's not moving. | |
| Apr 12, 2016 at 20:14 | comment | added | JPhi1618 | Is there really a water valve that controls the coolant flow, because I thought there was only an air diverter in the heater box under the dash? | |
