Right i have done all the searches but it still not clear to me what the problem is??

 

All the cars temps and everything runs perfect.

 

So when i am sat on the drive the heat blowing out of the blowers is ok but no where near 40. Then when i start to move it becomes chilli, then i might as well not have it on.

 

Now the pipes that go through the bulk head, 1 is as hot as it should be and the other isnt cold but isnt even warm.

 

So it does seem to be circulating a little, so its as if the little valve that controls the temp is stuck open at around 10d

 

So does anyone have an idea where the valve is. or can it be replaced

 

OR could it be possible it could be a faulty pod???

 

All ideas welcome as i am bloody freazing. :headvswal

Right the heater matrix pipes (ones going through te bulk head) one should be hot and the other warm, but properly warm, not luke warm.

 

TBH mate have you done a proper coolant drain and refil as per the Nissan workshop manual??

 

I would do that before spending any money on replacing parts.

 

May be worth looking into the possibility of a heater matrix change mate.

you may have a problem with the climate control unit or one of it's sensors.

there's a small valve on the heater matrix, which is controlled by the CCU, that regulates the amount of hot coolant flowing through the matrix.

 

Sounds like it's keeping the valve shut for some reason..

 

have the climate control checked with a conzult, it may help diagnose what's causing the issue

Just thought that it could be possible that it is the thermostat.

 

When i changed my front water pipes (chrome), i put the thermo in a pan off water, and it did not open till past boiling point. The car will never get to boiling point

 

So i did a check and the std will open at around 70, There is a nismo on ebay for £80 deliverd and that opens around 60.

 

So with it being shut i am not getiing any water thro the matrix, Most proberly just heat soak.

 

Or could be like lymon said??

 

Finger crossed
