Heating not working intermittently

Post by BongoJon » Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:45 pm

Hi,
My heating seems to be on the blink. It does not heat up and the temp gauge goes up to the H and then heating kicks in and temp gauge goes back to normal. Sometimes this can take up to 20 mins though.

I am guessing thermostat but it is a guess.

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
BongoJon

Virtually identical thread here http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... =3&t=37402. Follow the instructions there and get it bled before using it again - it's not the thermostat as that rarely gets used at this time of year. Have you checked your coolant level and are you losing any?

I wouldn't drive it until its sorted, to be honest. Lots of stuff on here about possible cuases - have a search. Good luck [-o<
