I’m going to try putting it up on ramps this weekend and burping the system again. Maybe my driveway wasn’t steep enough.dawgn86 wrote:has the coolant been drained and filled lately?
I just did my 2006 and replaced hoses and thermostat. Took awhile to burp out the air in the system, even while on ramps and incline. Not sure if this is any help to you or not, but wanted to throw it out there.
I just replaced the thermostat with a genuine Nissan t-stat. As far as the heater pump, I was under the impression only pathfinders with rear heat had the pump...? Either way I will check that tonight.smj999smj wrote:If you still have poor heat, I would consider replacing the thermostat (genuine Nissan) and checking the heater pump. The heater pump is an electric water pump that sits inline with the heater hose on the left side of the engine and helps push the coolant through the heater core. It's mounted on a bracket that attaches to the firewall between the engine and the brake booster. It's sorta round, black plastic and has two wires going to it.
I haven't noticed much difference in temp between the sides. To be honest, I've only checked what was within reach from the drivers seatBullDozer wrote:I also notice weak heat espically when using front window defrost. I notice the right side does not get warm at all, the left a little more, but seems the front face vents do get warm.
Do you notice differences in left or right side
