I recently replaced heater hose myself so i am familiar with heatercore connection bypass line etc.
Ford taurus heater core bypass hose.
I have 2002 taurus with no heat and want to flush heatercore but not sure of proper or best way to do so.
If you block off the bypass hose between the heater core pipes the heat in the cabin will get better but the core is still blocked.
3 the taurus cooling system is actively self purging through the reservoir.
My question what exactly does it accomplish.
Had car checked by pro mechanic and replacement is.
I used the garden hose to flush out the heater core technique last night and i now have heat in my 96 not 98 as i erroneously said above taurus.
Another common reason for no heat is air trapped in the core.
The hose assembly core configuration is passive delta in construction.
This may be used sometimes for a quick fix if your heater core is leaking onto you.
The heater core won t clog up because all of the coolant is going through the heater core rather than half of the coolant running through it.
2 if you don t want heat all the time that s what the blend door is for.
There is no diverting.
I live in upstate n y and its very cold and snowing and i have children who need to be driven to school and it has become very dangerous.
We ve been having the usual lack of heat problems have flushed back and forth but the bypass hose seems to be carrying most of the hot water from the block right around to the pump.
Clamping off the bypass hose will force water into the core forcing the air out.
Water pump flushed heater core the y bypass hose 1999 ford taurus 3 0v6 ohv started blowing water a year ago at 110k miles head was cracked.
I couldn t access the clamp clip on the bottom hose going into the firewall because even my shortest pliers hit against the engine so i traced both hoses from the firewall to the engine and disconnected there.
Lets say the pressure from the water pump pushes 30 psi through the entire system as far as flow not actual system pressure.

In this video tim will show you how to bypass a your vehicles heater core.
One fix is to to add a coolant filter between the water pump and heater core once the core is clean.
But if you drive it that way you will almost certainly overheat the engine and blow a head gasket.
