Title: HOT HOT HEAT????
Post by: Tornado-red_gti on 16 February 2004, 14:49
NOT HOT HEAT more like!
  My heater packed in last night. The fan works but I'm only getting cold air coming out.
 Thing is, my V Belt snapped a few hours before I noticed the heater had stopped working. I replaced the belt straight away. Could this be linked or is it going to be something simple?
   Any ideas people?
        Thanks.

You might have an air lock in your heater matrix, one thing to check is when the engine is nice and toasty feel the pipes going in and out of the matrix to see if they are warm, if only one is it looks like water isn't getting through it and you'll need to bleed the system.

Another thing to check is that both the control wires going into the heater box are hooked up properly, as apparently theres a little cog that can fall off.  Easy way to reset them is to put both to the far right, move the flaps in the right position and hook it back up.

  It started blowing hot again last night on my way home from work.
Should i still check the pipes later on today or will it be ok now?
   Thanks
