Tom (TWG1160)

Hi - I am a first time user -
Is there anyone that can help me? I have a 1993 Lexus SC400 - My problem: NO HEAT -
I've topped off the radiator - so it is full of anti-freeze - and have installed a new thermostat - Still, no heat -
I have put the dail control to "HOT" - and still only cold air comes out
Anyone have this problem? And are you willing to share with me how you solved it - without it costing you a arm & leg?

I will watch postings or you can email me directly - TWG1160@AOL.COM
THANKS

bleed the cooling system. Find the fill plug on the upper water outlet - it's a 17mm plug. And then if you have it, follow the filling instructions on the coolant tank.

If the bleeding doesn't so it, do a search on "heater control valve". Notorious for going out. A simple temporary fix is available. Permanent fix would be to replace the valve.

THANKS FOR THE HELP - I'm going to look for the tempory fix for now - going to look in the heater control valve - is that correct?
