TD5 Heater problem.

(1/3) > >>

sulley:
Can someone please explain why my TD5 will only warm me up in these cold mornings when I'm on the motorway at 70mph????  I'm totally stumped.  When  I slow down I get cool/cold air blowing!!

Cheers

Hightower:
Dodgy thermostat?

Have you checked your coolant level?

Skibum346:
Sounds like the thermostat...

Ten minute, £5 fix.... I recomend you do it anyway cuz if it's stuck in the open position, there is a chance that one day it closes not to re-open...at that point cold won't be your problem... warped heads will be!

 :shock:

sulley:
Cheers for that.  Is it an easy ten minute job??  Can a total rank amateur do it themselves  :roll:

Moneypit:
Check coolant level.

I had this problem last year, but suffered it until I spent 4 hours stuck in a major jam on the M1, rang stealers who said it sounded like my coolant, checked at it was incredibly low, took shed loads to top it up, but then I had warmth and a leak in my radiator, which got replaced las january when lot's of other things got done.
