No hot air from heater in 1.4 :(

Post by Neil_Bolton »

Hi all,

I hope that you may be able to help me, and more importantly, my missus :)

She has a 1.4 hatch which has been very reliable and has no real problems apart from the fact that it blows no hot air...

BUT:
  • - It blows on all settings
    - The pipes leading to the heater matrix are hot
    - The temp adjuster does seem to be changing the heater matrix setting
    - Thermostat seems fine, bang on middle, no overheating issues
    - Car has not had any work done recently (i.e. no head gasket anything requiring coolant)
ETA: Its an R reg Mk3 :)

I've had a bloody good look around both on here, using the search, and under the bonnet, and I keep hearing references to a bleed screw for the heater matrix under the scuttle panel, but I'm buggered if I can find it:

Could someone let me know if I'm barking up the right tree, and why I can't see the valve!

Thanks very much in advance :)

Neil

Welcome to the site, can't help you myself. Although if you post this in the mk4 area (which your motor is) it'll generate some extra responses. :)
