CazzaVR 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Had mine blasting out this afternoon and they were boiling 8) Got caught in the most hideous downpour of rain, watching my Year 4/5 football team play 5 matches in a tournament. The rain lasted nearly an hour. Suffice to say, I was absolutely soaked and freezing, so the heaters on the way home were a relief! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah my Corrado heaters are really hot as well, I think it's pretty common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 29, 2011 Yep - one of the best things about the MK2 Golf were the heaters and it's the same kit on the Corrado - only problem is obviously this probably lead to the worldwide heater matrix / bypass valve recall than went on for years and I think is still active in the US.

Stonejag 10 Posted November 29, 2011 Mine are painfully hot - I really struggle with anything about 1/3 of the way up the dial. I do have heated seats though :) Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60_Marc 0 Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Mine are not to hot at all in the winter. I think i either need to downsize my oil cooler or maybe modify the mocals thermostat so that it stays closed, anyone here ever tried it?

Swompy 0 Posted November 29, 2011 My fan doesnt work so no heating for me, plus I just sold a fan on ebay, sods law :( On my many list of jobs to do for next weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StueyB 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Yep, they are. Mine never used to go past 1. If anyone ever got in and turned it up, I used to look at them like they just hit the passenger ejector seat button. "You don't wanna do that..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted November 29, 2011 I was never that impressed with the ones on my first C, but later found out it was because someone had forced my knob (oh-err) for the flaps and they'd all jumped a few teeth. My blue one is lovely and toasty :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted November 30, 2011 Favourite part of winter driving, sunroof open with heated seats and heaters on. Same here (although no heated seats). I drive everywhere with the roof open, however cold it is. The heaters are great in the Corrado. I would like heated seats though. I have them in the Golf and they are lovely when it's cold outside. I'm half tempted to retrofit some heating elements into them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Meth 0 Posted November 30, 2011 Yep, its the one thing i brag about to my mates with newer cars. Not only is it reeeealy toasty in there, but it gets that way pretty quick aswell! Does not take long to warm up at all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
