My heater used to work great...
Now the air it blows is cold-room temperature at best if i turn it off for a minute and turn it back on i get hot air for a second and then it goes cold again... any ideas? possible causes and solutions? |

QUOTE Stu37363 Posted Today, 04:59 PM What color antifreeze do i need? i was doing some research and didnt realize it was so complicated... i think i have yellow or green in there now. Toyota used red coolant, but you will be ok going back with green they are the same and green is alot cheaper. To confirm manphibian, yes the thermostat is below the alternator, you will see a plastic or aluminum neck the bolts to the water pump, remove it and the thermostat is sitting right htere (assuming you still have the 5S-FE).
