The heater in our '00 Concorde has a very strange problem. Since last winter the heater hasnt blown as hot as it used to. Tonight I noticed that when you come to a stop the air out of the vents gets considerably cooler, take off and the air heats back up. I also noticed this evening the temp gauge is reading a little warmer than usual, not much but enough to notice, usually runs about 3/8 on the temp gauge, tonight it was right at the halfway mark. Any ideas? Thank

So, I think you are right that it is low on coolant. Looks like the rad is leaking and Ive got to refill it to locate the leak.
So, is there a way to refill properly without having to have the 50 dollar funnel?
Thanks
