#1 of 24 No Heat at When Vehicle in Park or Neutral by tonyford Nov 23, 2007 (7:47 pm)
Pretty cold day, about 28 degrees, stopped at store and left vehicle idling in Park. Before I went into the store the heater was working fine, when I returned cool air was coming out of the air ducts. Did NOT change any settings. I had to get going and couldn't do any more investigating, but as soon as I drove off the heat out of the ducts was hot again. Normally a condition like this would be attributed to a low coolant level, but the coolant level is right where it should be.   Anyone else experience this? If so what was the fix?   2006 Kia Sorento 4x4 Replies to this message: brandon3350 (Dec 09, 2007 5:15 pm) tonyford (Dec 10, 2007 3:07 am) fixmykia (Dec 19, 2007 5:17 am) wknox (Apr 17, 2008 6:37 pm) mnkids2kias (Apr 19, 2008 6:24 am) and 1 more... webbster (Jan 20, 2009 11:11 pm) and 1 more... triffe (Jan 02, 2008 1:11 pm) tidester (Jan 02, 2008 8:06 pm) roberth5 (Feb 11, 2008 7:42 pm) tonyford (Feb 12, 2008 3:21 pm)

Replying to: tonyford (Nov 23, 2007 7:47 pm) Your antifreeze is low. Get a gallon or two of the pre-mix antifreeze and fill the tank near the fire wall (passengers side). Just make sure you do it when the engine is cool, otherwise releasing the cap under pressure can release a rush of very hot water/antifreeze. I beleive the tank at the firewall holds about a gallon, after a couple of trips and once the engine is cool, check and fill it as needed to the proper levels.   My antifreeze is going low all the time, I do not know why! I suspect the radiator cap is bad. If the system does not hold pressure, the antifreeze will boil off. Keeping the fluid under pressure prevents it from boiling off. The cap is suppose to keep the system under pressure. If your cap were bad, I would think the system would have low pressure and hence, allow the antifreeze to boil off.   The heater in the Kia Sorento, with proper fluid levels should cause you to roll down the windows in sub-zero weather.   BTW, how's your dome lights, had the diode problem yet?

Replying to: roberth5 (Feb 11, 2008 7:42 pm) I wish it was that easy. My anti-freeze level right where is should be, full. That is not the problem. I don't think enough hot water is flowing thru the heater core at idle speed. Either it be the design of engine, the water pump is not circulating the heated water fast enough at idle I do not know, but when driving normally, the heat is fine.
