internal heater

[mbu10]

well sound like loads of thing wrong but like things sorted
anyway
the heater revolving thing is quite stiff but moves
i have fully bled the car and got up to temp does kinda heat up but not nice and hot like i like it(heater that is not the car)
could it be the way the revolving thing moves something else could be stuck
or some thing else

addition
well after readin some posts when i found the right one that is
well the lever does move the thing in the left hand side well

Are you on drugs

[mbu10]

some times i wish i was but no

[Wicker Man]

It is difficult to understand what you are saying. Perhaps you could use sentences!

I'll hazard a guess: Are the vents in your footwells closed?

[Big Al.]

He's on about the rotary hot / cold wheel.

and that it's stiff! (ooeer)

also that it's not hot enough!

[andy-w]

what do you need the heater for...its roof down weather in newcastle today!!!!!!!

[Wicker Man]

My heater knob is usually nice and warm but I think he talking about cabin temperature.

NB The temperature gauge just tells you how cool you look. It's nothing to do with engine temperature.

[andy-w]

is it heating up properly...80ish deg????

Even this time of year my car is cooking if i have the heater on too long!

[mbu10]

well yes cars sits at a nice 80 deg when it warms up
have checked and not airlocked and the rotary thign moves the cable in the passenger foot well have had the pipes off when draining cooling system and can blow through the heater matrix quite easy so is not blocked

oh and by the way is bloody freezing in newcastle i am sat just of the quay side and sun out but freezing cold

[Red V8]

Does it get any warmer when you turn on the blower?

Oh, and make sure you have the windows closed... hell of a draught otherwise

Nice and warm over here in sunny Gosforth!

[mbu10]

well does blow luke warm air but not like nice and toasty like i would like it
takes ages to warm the car still need a coat on as not that warm

[andy-w]

My windscreen vents dont force air out...i think it is the heat rises effect that makes the air come out!

If i have it switched to the footwells it gets hot really quickly!
I dont think they have the same kind of 'air blasting around' that most 'ordinary' cars have.

Well i am off home now...leaving work, taking the roof down and going for a spin!!!

[mbu10]

hah hah
fixed was nice and tostie today
well just flushed the system with loads of water(loads of crap came out of the pipes) and refilled with collant and anti-freeze viola
working (loads of crap came out of the pipes)

thanks

[Red V8]

Do you recon this was a result of you replacing the rad?

[mbu10]

not sure
think it could have been all the crud in the water maybe and might have got lodged in the heater matrix
and when i flushed though might have got all the crap out
dunno though
