mk2 golf gti heater not working

[john905]

hello all new to the site, just bought a g reg golf gti 8v which has some probs nothing to major apart from i have no heat in the car i have replaced water pump thermostat and the 2 valves on heater matrix pipes and still no heat any ideas cheers john

Remove valves, replace with copper pipe, or Golf3 hoses.

Oh and use the search.

First guess would be you've got a big air lock. As Diamond said theres loads on here about that, e.g. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=33252.0

also have you flushed the hoses out witha hose pipe?
mine didn't work in my driver and some crap had crystalised and stopped the warmth going to the blower

[john905]

i have had a hose pipe on matrix but not on the pipes, i will also by pass the valves i have already changed them but will give it ago and see how i get on

i have just taken the valves out now and replaced with pipe and still no heat, its slighty better when revving at about 2 rpm i get luke warm heat and on idle i get none, any more advise on this please? cheers
