davidwort 0 Posted October 7, 2010 is the return hose warm pretty soon after the feed hose gets warm? (where the hoses go into the bulkhead from the engine bay) If they are both hot then you may have a problem with your flaps :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted October 7, 2010 i feel like a pilot hehe, so where are the flaps? :shrug: :epicfail: their usually hidden from view... you'll need to whip the dash undertrays out and follow the heat/cold bowden cable down to the air distribution unit behind the dash, see if the flap is operating open/shut, hot water always flows though the matrix, no on/off valve, the heat is controlled purely from a flap opening/shutting.
