whats up guys. well i live in south carolina so it doesn't get too cold down here and at least not for long. but lately ive had the oppurtunity to notice that while parked or while just sitting in a spot the heat will stop blowing warm and actually blow cold air but then as soon as i start moving again it heats back up. anybody else had this problem or is it just how this car works. its a 04 5at by the way and only has 29k on it so i wouldn't think it would be a problem. just really cold lol

 

sounds like you have an air pocket in your coolant system. there are a few DIYs on here for how to get rid of the air.

 

actually woulda never thought of that. i mean it does it literally every time the car is sitting. does me no real good to try and defrost the windows cause its just keeping the windshield cold. thanks for the info will look into it

 

Try checking the coolant level. If it's low, that might happen

 

went ahead and checked that and there is plenty of coolant. anyone else have this happen ever?

 

Are you close to Charlotte? If so, bring it to me and I will fix it.

 

Had the same problem, once they bleed the system of air, problem solved.

 

even a small air pocket will rob you of hot air, and checking the reservoir won't tell you much if the pocket is small. just bleed your system and the problem will more than likely go away.

 

ok well by the info being shared looks like a air bubble is going to likely be what is the problem. and yes i am actually near charlotte. i live in columbia, sc.

 

and im assuming that it is the radiator lines that needs flushing right. this is the first infiniti ive owned and its also got the axle click and the rear bearing problem all getting ready to get fixed at once when this is all figured out

 

Give us a call 704-523-6700 and ask for Bobby.

 

i will definately give you a call because im looking foward to doing mods as well. but as far as the three problems ive listed im actually supposed to take it to the dealer next monday. i bought a lexus before from same dealer and alignment was out and screwed up my tire but he paid for all new tires and alignment so he makes right what is wrong. the problem is they act like idiots and i have to tell them what is wrong. however if they don't fix this i will be in contact with you about this as well. is it better if i pm you cause im definately gonna need suspension but on other mods. thanks for all ur help

 

bump on this topic. im going to need to bring my car up to you in charlotte but im having a even bigger and more annoying problem. on the rear passenger side the brakes are making a horrible creeking/groaning noise but i know its the brakes cause it only does this noise when the brakes are applied? can somebody please explain to me exactly what it could be and a possible fix. ive searched noise and rear hub and every combo and couldn't find what i needed.

no hot air while you are not moving/idleing means you have an air pocket in your heater core. simply bleed your cooling system and this will go away. just make sure you get all the air out.
