    Default New heater hoses now no heat?

    Mechanic installed today new heater hoses 'cause he said the others were too soft & old.

    It's raining in QLD so turned on the demister 'cause couldn't see a thing and
    now the heater/demister is not blowing any hot air only cold.

    Anyone got any suggestions why?

    Ringing him tomorow but want some answers now if possible why?

    If you can't be bothered giving a proper response then keep your stupid comments to yourself!

    In case you don't realise you are talking to a retired lady here, all the other members have always been polite and helpful to me.

    Yes, they did have to put a new heater tap on it was more expensive than the hoses.

    The tap cost me $60 which I was quite taken back by and the hoses were only $20 for the whole set. Labour was included as it was in for it's regular service.

    Thankyou for you reply that gives me something to point out to them tomorrow.

    You should have 3-4 hoses to the heater tap, left of engine near surge tank, a small hose on top of the heater tap there is only one, check if its connected right.
    Good luck.
