Heat Stopped Working

[SonicIan]

So with 18F degrees outside yesterday my heating stopped working. Any ideas on what would cause that? Will probably be bringing it into the shop today.

I thinking it must be related to a fluid leak I had seen a few times under the car, maybe it was coolant.

how many miles on your 14 turbo? They are known for coolant leaks all over the place.

If you have low/no coolant your heater core will not put out heat while at the same time your engine can overheat. Check your coolant.

Mileage is 67,000. Must be the coolant. I'll add more then bring it to a shop at some point.

So the coolant refill promptly ran out and now I got an overheating light on my last minutes home from work. I am going to try the liquid sealant trick and if that doesn't work bring it into the shop. So annoying that this car leaks coolant, so many cases online here.

Don't put liquid sealant into the system! There are TSBs out for coolant leaks, so GM might help with the repair, but if you put something other than approved Dexcool in there, they can say it is not covered.

I already checked with my Chevy dealer and talked about the TSB regarding coolant leaks and the water pump. They said they would not cover anything since nothing came up when they searched my VIN.
