hi all

 

there`s no heating in the car ... motor blows air but it`s not hot ... any ideas why ? heating matrix bypass mod ? :)

Engine running?

yes

Check at the back of the engine, you should see two water pipes going through the firewall.

agreed with jaikai the heater matrix has probally been disconnected to stop heat coming in or because the matrix leaks.

Make sure there is plenty of water in your radiator..

Have you checked your engine temp?. First sign of hg faililure is no warm air from blower.

how does that work? :s

Air Lock, needs bleeding?

Thermostat stuck open? would that cause it also?

how does that work? :s

 

Because the hot water goes thro the engine instead of thro the heater matrix and air gets into the system and airlocks the heating system( at least thats how it was explained to me)

its possible that the cable on your matrix valve may have come adrift . it could be stuck in the closed position not allowing any hot water through the matrix

yea check for the pipes at the back of the engine

thanks everybody ... c u guys at JAE maybe somebody will have a look at it. Cos it`s not the only problem... my car starts to smoke sometimes when stuck in traffic jams

smoke or steam? keep a very close eye on your coolant levels buddy. could be a very expensive trip if you overheat

smoke from exhaust... nothing to do with overheating ... coolant temp is ok
