CAR HAS LOW HEAT MAYBE 60-65 DEGREES AT TIMES NONE AT OTHERS. WHEN IT DOES HAVE HEAR IT IS VERY INTERMITTANT.

I HAD SOME HEAT FOR A WHILE LAST NIGHT BUT WHEN I PASSED SOMEONE IT STOPPED ALTOGETHER!

NO LEAKS, AND I HAVE BLOW OUT THE CORE WITH WATER LAST SUMMER. NEEEDLESS TO SAY I AM COLD AND FRUSTRATED -- ANY SUGGESTIONS?

There is a bypass hose that runs from the pump around the back of the engine, to the tstat, clamp it off and see how the heat is, worked well for me. Problem is, if you blow that core out again, you will get more crap out of it, so it's either replace the core or clamp that bypass.
