Title: Heater Playing Up
Post by: Dub_Dude_16v on 12 August 2006, 09:13

Hi guys n girls  :smiley:

Well went out this morning to take the mrs to work and it was raining and rather chilly. So i took out the golf diesel (B, 1985)  :shocked:

So decided (for the first time since Winter), to put my heater on... oh dear what happened next? The windscreen completely misted up and i couldn't see bugger all. Turn the heater off windscreen clears turn it back on misted up again  :undecided:

Any ideas anyone? A leak in the matrix causing steam on the screen?

Cheers peeps.

I would have thought it was matrix aswell, is it using much coolant ?

No doesn't seem to be using any really. Haven't had to top it up or anything.

Hmmmm....  :undecided:

At the moment it might just be a tiny leak but unfortunately it will only get worse with time, I would try to sort it a.s.a.p because if it goes pop you'll have a footwell full of rather hot water. Alternatively you can bypass the matrix until you can get it sorted, but obviously you'll have no heater !

Oh god no!!  :shocked:

I know that is a sh!te of a job to do.

Cheers for the advice guys. Will have to get it sorted before the cold weather kicks back in.
