Ever since I bought the car I havn't had any heater. Because it was summer i never really thought anything of it. But now its very cold and winter, especially when driving into work at 1am in the morning, I would obviously like the benifits of a heater.

I am not sure exactly whats wrong, and have no idea how to check, but when I put it on "auto" and goto max hot, there isn't any air blowing through at all. When i manually adjust the fan, it just blows cool air still.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong? I read on another thread that i can just check the level of coolant thats below a bolt near the thermostat or something, but i have no clue where that is? Other than that i think the coolant level is full?

Any help people can give will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your VSV valve is rooted.
Do a search using VSV as the criteria. You can also bypass it, which is a handy semi-fix for the Winter months.

Is there any sort of way to test whether my VSV vavle is no longer working as toyota designed it too?

but what would you use for the by-pass? as in the size of the vacuum line and connectors?
