I have 1995 honda accod ex station wagon with 160K. I bought it a week ago. On the test drive everything was OK. Then they replaced the speedomenter/odometer and put overflow in. Today I noticed that it doesn't blow hot air when I turn it on hot. Also, the temp gauge shows temp lower than half. What might be the problem?

Check the supply lines to the heater core when the engine is hot. One should be hot and the other will be cool. The hot one will have a valve on it to open the fluid to run through the heater core. Check to see if the valve opens.

Suggested Repair

With the engine hot, check the heater core supply lines. One hose should be hot and the other cooler. The hot line has a valve that controls coolant flow through the heater core; verify that the valve opens.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Honda Accord EX wagon with 160,000 miles reports no hot air from the heater and a temperature gauge reading below halfway after a recent speedometer and odometer replacement. The expert advises checking the heater core supply lines when the engine is hot and confirming that the heater control valve opens so coolant can flow through the core.
