jimmyvwjunkie 0 Posted January 5, 2009 hey guys got a problems when i put the car heating on only cool air comes out. even when the heater setting are at max heat. anyone know why??? also there seems to be no air coming out the top vents that hit the window to stop it steaming up. i can hear the air trying to reach there but sounds as though theres a blockage or vents closed, anyone know faults with the early heater system of a 1991 corrado 16v. my heed is sare with the problemo. :mad2: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Possibly the cables need sorting out? do you feel any resistance when sliding them? Do you get any heat from anywhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KipVR 1 Posted January 5, 2009 Pull off the dial facia panel and you will find 4 screws holding the dial mechanism in, undo those four screws and pull it out so you can see behind it, then turn the dial and see if it is push/pulling the cable, if it isn't you know it's the dial mechanism broken, if it is then I'm afraid you'll have to investigate further down the line. Have you just bought the car? If so check that the heater matrix hasn't been disconnected as they are prone to breaking.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy way to check is to pop the stereo out and look down! :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm sounds like it could be an air-lock in the matrix... how's the engine temps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
