heaters poor

Post by You've Been Bongod » Sun May 18, 2008 8:59 pm

hi all
last year i had a new rear heater matrix fitted and then took my bongo off the road for 4 months ,

anyway
my heaters seemed not to blow as well as they did since bongo was last on the road ?
just having a new genuine rad fitted as mine was leaking and wondered if that could have been the problem with my heaters?

any help would be welcome

Just a thought. If your thermostat were jammed open the coolant in the heaters would not be getting hot.

Hi YBB,
Is your fan spinning the right way ie: blowing not * sucking * just a thought.

Nothing to do with the linkages for the flaps inside the ducting?

yeah... the linkages are by your left foot when you drive...

I knocked mine off with my size 11 jimmy chu's... and it sort of blew everywhere and nowhere, but never to demist

it's a sprung steel clip on the end, so I threaded mine and put a nut on it, think it was m4... but not totally sure, may be m3, or...... :roll: :oops: ... but been peachy ever since!
