Flushing Heater Core...again
I bought the car July 2011 and found out the hard way that the heater didn't work when the weather turned cold. Thankfully, I found this site and the steps to flush the core.
I ended up having to flush the core twice last winter within weeks of each other. The second time it was done, it lasted for months. The wife just informed me that the heater is non-functional again which means another core flush.
What are the bits of peanut butter looking stuff that I flush out and why do I have to keep doing it?

I feel your pain, I bought it in April or May and it was hot, and being a dumbass, didn't test the heat and figured out later it didn't work...
Now it's getting cold and I have no heat! need to do the same, haven't tried flushing it yet... praying it works, because heater core replacement is almost not even an option...

BTW, your radiator and oil cooler have to be pretty clogged with the sam
e stuff.

Either someone mixed coolant types and it gelled up, or someone used stop leak. Either way, you need to flush the entire coolant system. Then replace with new coolant. If you don't, that junk will keep coming back.
