No advice - easy job though - did the keyhole surgery on my old Elite

Lol, just read the how to on it! I'm likely to end up with half the dash cut away, no wires intact and swimming pool made of coolant!

Got similar situation on my 3.2, heat was poor. Flushed matrix it's a lot better, on high the heat is good almost burning hands on centre vents, but side ones are cool.

Need to have temp at 24/25, in this cold weather it's been fine. But could be a lot better, likewise, flushed, reset and flap checked, front below at least

Beginning to wonder if my matrix is partially blocked still?

My outside tap doesn't have much pressure so beginning to think it may not have been strong enough to move the crud

 Washing powder or kettle descaler? Which is recommended?

Given the burning heat on Hi, I don't think it's a matrix issue. As driving along my feet are nice and toasty! Rest is ok too. So bit puzzled. Sounds like yours is very similar!

Hi  Sorry I can't help you but if you find the answer I'd be pleased to hear it, mine does exactly the same, warm centre vent cold everywhere else.

Right then O'mighty ones......

Been out with Tall Paul today looking at a mig for him.  On the way home, Paul drove my mig. It was only then I noticed that I have heat coming out the vents on the passenger side, but the drivers side is stone cold still 

Now when the windscreen demister is on, the passenger side clears fairly quickly, but the drivers side is a lot slower as if its partially blocked or not blowing at all?

Are these related?

Any ideas as to why the passenger side would blow hot and the drivers side cold?   TIA
