Problems with me second car 02 Altima

SkyZ · 04-21-2010, 11:54 AM

Hey, I am having some problems with my 02 altima and i was hoping the forums could help.

1. Heater doesnt work (tried a coolant flush only, improved heating MARGINALLY, not to acceptable standard)

2. Losing coolant somehow (not a head gasket or coolant leak, did pressure test and had head gasket checked.)
Theory regarding this is that coolant is getting blown out of the heater.

3. Recently while driving along both the handbrake and battery light would flash a couple of times and then stop. This happened a few times while driving (Is this some sort of problem code?)

Mine doesn't loose super quickly, it is normally months before it runs out. I'm not a mechanic by any means, so thats all I know, sorry. :P

You haven't found any leaks have you? Like near the heater core?

i personally suspect the heater core is leaking too because my mechanic did a pressure test and the whole system is fine, no leaks there. it seems to be when i put the heater on the coolant lvl drops more than usual.
