Heaters not working!
« on: 22 December 2010, 10:49 »
Hey guys, right today is the 2nd time in 2 weeks my heaters wont heat up. The temp is at 90 as it should be and im just wondering if this is down to being near -12 last night and today its -7 so... I popped out there for 10 mins to drop the missus off at her work and they werent heating up.

Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

If the temp gauge is fluctuating , change the thermostat and temp sender first, much cheaper and easier.  Then look at the waterpump if that doesn't solve it.

WaterPump failure  will make the car overheat  :wink:

Ok so Rich its defo not the waterpump then? If so then great as i realised it aint very cheap to have done. Would a garage cost a forture for thermostat so be done. I'd rather it was done properly than me f**king about with it.

No the car would be over heating if it was the pump  :smiley:

Im 99.9% sure it will be your thermostat  :smiley:


A garage should be able to do the job for around £50 - £60 i would guess  :smiley:
