Overheated car, cold air coming from heater (HELP PLEASE)

[simj79]

I knw there have been a few similar ones but none gave me an answer. I have a Supercharges VT 2 s pack. about 4 days ago it ran hot, I turned the heater on full, it cooled down and was all god. Yesterday it signalled hot again, turned the heater on full ball but it only blew out cold air. Any idea on what it might be. I had the radiator replaced about 2 months ago.

vacum hose come off the heater tap. Heater tap stuck closed....

Fingers crossed it is, just recued it from the freeway, heater came back on just as it was overheating again, was a lot of back pressure in the radiator. Hope to god it is not a head issue.

Sounds like an air bubble in the coolant. Try bleeding it.

OK, so just got the verdict back, seems like it had a cooling system meltdown, Water pump needs replacing, Thermostat, heater tap and also needs the valley gaskets replaced. They want $900 for the lot, is this expensive?

look around on this forum, there is no way in hell that it can cost that much.
