Hi all I have a 2006 Acura MDX where I had not heat. I ended up getting it working but disconnecting the heater control valve cable and manually opening the heater control valve. Now I get warm air and cool when needed as the damper door in the HVAC is still working. As the winter is upon us I was just thinking of leaving the cable disconnected and the heater control valve open till the spring. I don't really see a problem leaving it like this but I am not a mechanic.
Is there something I am missing? Is there a problem having coolant running through the heater core all the time?
The only thing I can think of is maybe the engine might take longer to warm up like this, but I am not even sure if that is true since the thermostat seems to be working fine.
Any insights or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
