'99 Plymouth Grand Voyager with 126k mile. Regular maintenance has been done, most recently major job done, th 120k maintenance. The coolant is leaking and noticed that the heat from the A/C was not working anymore since the leak started. Even after heating up the car on idle, the heat would not come on. After a little driving the heat would come on but not as hot or strong as usual. I filled the coolant reserve tank and it temporarily fixed the problem. The heat would come on when I am driving the car for a long period of time but it would not blow heat when it is idle. coolant temp has not been rising or lowering. What maybe the problem? What is making the coolant leak? Should I be concerned about the musty smell that comes out when you first turn on the AC? What should I be asking an auto center to look at and how much should I expect to pay to fix the problem once that is identified? Thanks for your help on this one.

Low coolant level will cause a no or low heat situtation. Any coolant leak can and is hazardeous to the enging (not to mention the environment ! ) Have the cause of the leak found and ask for a "guess-timate "(estimate) Then decide on your course of repair.

those are oftentimes used for head gaskets leaking externally. The water pump is yet another nicely oftentimes used spot. you may could purchase or borrow a rigidity pump to rigidity up the gadget. rigidity up the gadget to the rad cap score and this might make it elementary to discover the leak.
