Heater Issues
« on: January 08, 2007, 22:19:34 »
Hello folks,

After playing in the water at the weekend i went through quite a deep ford and had the water coming out of the bottom of the heater since this i get a bad smell when i switch the heater on and not really much blow to clear the windscreen also it no longer gets very hot. does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks,
      Baz

yep,  dash out, and probaly most of the air pipes too.

It sounds like the heater matrix may be clogged, but clogged on the air flow side, not in the water pipes (which is almost impossible to clear)

once its out a good hose down should clear it.
