pugrallye 0 Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) replace the heater matrix, cost about thirty quid, and probably take about half a sat if you've never done one before, assuming of course you arent losing engine coolant!

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted February 2, 2006 Check your water level, don't rely on the low water coolant sensor as they hardly ever work. If you dont have wet footwells (heater matrix is probably leaking) & the water is topped up, look under the dash in the drivers footwell & you can just see the two pipes running to the heater matrix, see if they are both getting hot after a drive. If they are then it is possibly a blocked heater nmatrix where someone has used radweld or similar previously imo. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted February 2, 2006 I noticed a difference between my 1.9 and my 1.6, in that in the 1.9 anything above 1/8 on the temp control knob would result in very hot air, whereas on the 1.6 I get proper hot air at the max setting on the knob, warm air if turned back a bit, but then pretty much cold air for the remaining 3/4 of the knob. This makes me wonder if the actual control knob can become 'de-claibrated' if you know what I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
