Hey all, not a real big issue now that summers a comin', but my heater blows cold air at idle, but soon as I get movin and the rpm's up it blows hot air. Truck is fully warmed up also. Any ideas, havent' brought it in at all. 04 CC

check your coolant level, if thats ok then take it your dealer/mechanic. these trucks have multiple thermostats as well as an additional heater pump that works at idle so low heat issues can be difficult to diagnose at times.

Probably just air in the system due to low coolant level caused by a leak somewhere like the radiator cap or something.

I do have a small leak coming from the bottom of my cheasy plastic radiator!!! Sounds like I need to add coolant and/or fix the leak, any way to fix the MINOR leak with like JB Weld or some kind of sealant, rather than drop a few hundred on a new radiator, warranties up long time ago!

Im having the same problem after fixing my radiator cap leak. I tried bleeding the system numerous times with no luck. I only have heat at 90 though. Does anybody know the correct way of doing the bleeding of the system?? I jacked up the p/s with the truck parked uphill and just took the reservoir cap off and left it running for 15 minutes filled up to the top. It still does it.
