Title: Luke Warm Air in Cabin
Post by: RayONeill on 27 January 2013, 21:47:34

Hi Folks, need some advise.
Recently had new Water Pump fitted, due to leak, however before and after fitting still cannot get heat into car.
Removed hoses from Matrix and flushed both directions, got a bit more heat through after this, but now back to virtually cold air.  DOES ANYONE THINK it could be the Heat Exchange Valve, if so I'll get one an pop it in, although I know it's a bit of a fiddly job.

Yeah that's the part, just wondering if this would solve the problem of heat in the cab ?? - guess no harm in trying as it's a cheap part to buy
