Does flushing a heater core really work?

Flushing out the tubes in the heater core will allow the coolant to flow more easily so there will always be warm coolant to heat up the air going into the cabin. This is especially true if it has been a while since you last changed the coolant as all the buildup can eventually end up in the heater core.

How do you flush a clogged heater core?

To clean the blockage, you need to flush water or air through the heater core. By doing so, the grime and dirt that’s causing the clog will come out through the inlet hose. Now, insert a water hose into the outlet hose. If you have access to an air compressor, you can use that to push out the coolant and grime.
