I am not getting much heat in my vehicle and my defroster is working bpoorly.
There is water in the rad but the hose going from th top of the rad into the thermostat seems to be almost bulging a little. The automatic fans seem to be on a lot.
Thanks

The cooling system must be full and it must be bled to eliminate any air from the system. Secondly, thermostat on the car could be stuck in the open position and causing the car to not warm the coolant properly. I might replace the thermostat. Then if that makes no change, check the pressure of the cooling system. The thermostat is a very cheap item to replace.
