Hey folks, I've been reading a lot here and am totally appreciative of all those who post and respond helping each other out. I have yet to read a car guy/tough guy argument!! :laugh Anyway, I have a couple problems and I'm asking for advice or tips or answers.
Problem #1: LOUD belt squeak when starting. Only when the AC or heat is on mostly but it has happened with neither on. From what I've read it could be the AC compressor belt or clutch or the compressor itself. Any tips or suggestions? But then I am wondering why would it happen with no AC on. I just bought the Rav and the AC did not work at all. I charged it and it works great.
Problem #2: NO HEAT!!! The heater core hoses are not hot. One is mildly warm and the other not warm at all. I plan on getting a flush as step one soon but just wondering that since one hose does get warm does that mean the heater core works or can it be bad and still put out a bit of warm?
