Heater Playing Up

[Dub_Dude_16v]

Hi guys n girls 

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) 

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 

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

Cheers peeps.

Yeh matrix i would guess. 

[Dub_Dude_16v]

Oh feck!!

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

[Dub_Dude_16v]

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

Hmmmm....

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 !

[Dub_Dude_16v]

Oh god no!! 

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.
