Dan Evans Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 on ya dials, ul have half cold, half warm, wen you turn it from cold to warm, it flicks a switch that converts the air to hot, either its broke, the fuse may be broke or could be something serious.have you tried running the car for 10mins without putting the heating on, then after its warmed up switching the heating on??

Lukey_B Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 yeah... tried that - it's really shit though LOL...any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Whats the temp gauge like? could be a blockage in the system coolant condition?....it can only be the dials if you turn them and you dont hear the noise of it switching + dont feel it diverting air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 flusss your cooling system rad etc, try that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 yer that happened to mine had fuk all coming throughjust drained it flushed all the pipes out and filled it up again and it did the trickworth a shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Seems like the best thing to do first....i`d replace the thremostat while your there (cheap as chips and saves headache later if other problems arise). Flush everything rad,coolant reserve,hoses the lot....then top up with decent coolant.Good luck let us know how you get on i `ve got that to do aswell not in a hurry mine likes to burn my face off when its at temp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 hmmmm if the thermostat was broke wouldn't the engine temp go sky high thoughbut as he said its definiatly worth doing while youre doing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its just a precaution buddy, if anything kicks up later then you know its defo the water pump/belt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 yer true as you said its worth doing anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Lol you can also use this as an excuse to replace the hoses with sexy samco ones.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 piece of piss to fit mate, cost you pennies......drain the system, swap the thermostat put a water hose threw the rad etc, then reconnect and fill it back up bud, take you bout 40mins, well thats how long it took me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey_B Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 will let you know if i manage to blow my car up in the process cheers guys!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey_B Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 OK, so i totally flushed the radiator out, and refilled it with good coolant etc. and it got SLIGHTLY warmer. so now when i'm driving to work on those shitty mornings... i can see the bottom 2 inches clearly, everything else is covered in "mist"... any other ideas? I'm not sure whether it would be the thermostat... because it does seem to be pouring some hot air out... just not enough?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I guess is your heater matrix..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
