Yay for heating issues in the cold!
Starting to diagnose little/no heat. More than likely will boil down to a clogged heater core (Coolant is disgusting and needs flushed). However, it may also have a blend door issue. in the recent past, I have had these small pieces of plastic mesh material (The best I can describe it, is it's like a loofa) coming out of my vents. Anyone ever had that problem?
Going to feel up my hoses after my drive home from work tonight and see what's up with it.

Glad I am not the only one with this issue. I definitely have some rust like sediment in my hoses. It gathers up in my radiator cap. I need a flush in the worst way and like an idiot I have been putting it off.
