Scottyboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Alright folks I thought I had a faulty thermostat as every time I drove the car it would run could but idle would heat up So bought a new thermostat and it's running a bit better driving the car will warm up siting still it will heat up but if I turn the fans on to blow air into the car gauage drops to quator and not very hot the heaters any ideas as it's not holding it's heat?

Scottyboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yeah mate if there turned off the heat gauge will got to half if you turn them on drops to quator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think it's something to do with heater matrix but not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Bleed it, flush it with a water hose from the garden (matrix) , maybe try another thermo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scottyboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'll try flushing the matrixs tomorrow see what she's like as I say on run gauge half way switch on the fans the heats there but cools down quite quick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think im having the same problem as you my temp gauge sits half way but the heat from the heaters isn't great will warm the car up inside but the temp of the heat coming out of the vents is fairly crap let me know how you get on with the matrix flush im going to get a bottle of rad flush tomorrow and see what that brings up or clears Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scottyboy Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well cleaned all mines out clear water was running both ways with no problems only thing I can really think of would be a faulty cap not sealing the system to build the pressure because if you pump the hoses water goes into the over flow if the cars running water still drips into the over flow so my guess is because it's not sealing the system it's not letting the water heat properly what do you think?
