No hot air from heater in 1.4 :(
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 2:23 pm
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:
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

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)
