Last week I took my car to the dealer to get the radiator fans and motor replaced because they somehow failed. I didn't realized it then but now my car has no heat. Yesterday it took about an hour hot air to get out of the vents. I really don't wanna take it back to that dealer because I don't trust them at all. what could this be? I would like to solve it my self and not have to deal with that dealer again.

Thanks.

Never mind I just checked and I have no coolant in the reservoir tank again

coolant went somewhere...hopefully just bubble in system....hopefully your heater core isnt leaking...

They didn't fill it up with enough coolant after they did the job I guess. I'll have to buy some tomorrow and fill it up.

Yeah i've been checking and there's no leak. When they gave it back to me and I got home, I checked the reservoir tank and it was empty, no signs of leaks at all. I took it back and Supposibly they put more coolant in it. While going back home I put the heat on, but cold air came out. After like half an hour the heat finally stated coming out. Yesterday I put the heat on again and cold air came out again. I checked the reservoir tank and it was dry again, no signs of leak at all.

The car keeps emptying the reservoir tank as If didn't have enough coolant. BTW the car is 2011 with 1400 miles. I never had a problem until the radiator fans broke. I'll keep adding coolant until it stops emptying the reservoir tank.

The fact that the reservoir is continually being emptied doesn't sound good. I'd get it checked out. Good luck with the troubleshooting.

I'll be constantly checking it. I think a leak that empties the reservoir tank right away would be very noticeable. Also, the car was perfectly fine before and the only change was the radiator fan and motor. I'm confident that they didn't fill it up with enough coolant. If worst comes to worst I'll take it in again. I really don't trust this guys though.

I would jack up the car to take a look underneath. If you see pink coolant anywhere you've probably got a head gasket problem.

I decided to take it to the dealer. They are checking it right now. They are saying that's probably an air pocket in the system. This could be the case because I actually heard the typical gurgling associated with air pockets in the system. To solve this problem in the is300 you would usually lift up the front of the car and let it run for a while at full heat. I don't know if it's the same for the isf.

BTW, this morning when I went to fill it up with coolant, it actually had coolant so it's not losing it as I thought.
