I recently had a problem with climate control
basucly no heat. First the passender side stopped then the drivers side after a month. So after some research i decided to replace the heater control valve.After installing and starting the car still no heat,left it for a few days and then decidef to drive it. When the car went up to temperature i noticed the cabin getting warm so hey prestow heat..!
but when stopping it started blowing cold air again drove off heat... any ideas anyone,has anyone had this issue

[QUOTE=seanjordan20;1604308]Did you bleed the system after you changed the part. Sounds like there is air in the system.[/QUOTE
well not sure if this bleeds the system but i had the antifreeze changed so i guess this would have helped before i changed the part

[QUOTE=seanjordan20;1604406]How is the pump loose. Was it not tightened when it was put
not loose but when you hold it there is play like it need tighting but it is fully functional makes a slight rattle to. Im getting it changed with therm just to eliminate them. Getting back to the point i tryed to find the temp via a video from this thread but couldnt succeed. The car still gives heat when driving and reving but no heat when stationary

When you change the pump and thermo it should be good. Just make sure you bleed the system after the change. If you're doing it yourself look at YouTube to find a how to on the bleeding procedure. Ensure you car is hooked up to a battery or the battery is fully charged.
