Why is My Car’s Heater Blowing Cold Air?

If your car heater is suddenly blowing out cold air instead of heat in the middle of a bitterly cold Topeka area winter, you have a good reason to be frustrated!  We don’t have to tell you that unreliable car heaters can make the cold winter months practically unbearable.  There are many components working together to heat your vehicle.

One or more of these issues may be the problem –

1.  The engine is low on or out of coolant

2.  The heater core has problems

3.  Broken heating controls

4.  Water leaks in the system

Don’t make the winter any more unpleasant than it already is.  Make sure whenever you turn on your foreign or domestic car that you can crank up the heat with confidence.  If your vehicle’s heater is acting up call us immediately at (785) 233-1000.  We are Topeka’s foreign and American car heating specialists A.J.’s Import Garage located at 501 S.W. Harrison.

A Volkswagen in Winter.

We are in the grips of another Western Kansas winter and your VW Diesel will need some TLC to navigate through the season.  It’s a good time to review some basic winter starting tips to help make our mornings less stressful.  Some of these tips seem obvious to seasoned owners, but to someone new to diesel Volkswagens there may be things that they haven’t thought of yet.

Here are some of them –

1.  Have the battery checked and load tested.

2.  Terminals should also be checked for corrosion.

3.  Turn off accessories when you don’t need them.

4.  Use a thinner oil.

5.  Have the fuel system serviced.

There are others, of course.  That is why A.J.’s Import Garage is here.  For many years they have been servicing and maintaining imports including Volkswagen Diesels.  The Topeka area has come to count on them for service of any and all of their vehicles.  Call ahead for an appointment at their location 501 S.W. Harrison.  That number is (785) 233-1000.
