Pipes from hell

Post by keith030458 »

Hi all I have just replaced the pipes from hell with flexible hoses trouble is that my internal heater doesn't work ( i know its summer and hot), point is I've bled the system several times now and I am convinced this isn't the problem, so does anyone know what the problem may be, Oh I'm noot losing any fluid anywhere either. ](*,) ](*,)

Are you able to bleed coolant from the heater matrix ( bleed point under front cover ) ?

I found if there was a leak in the coolant system, the heater was the first place the air was trapped, and blowing cold air was an early warning you were losing coolant.

Is the front radiator getting hot, and fans coming on?

Any other problems / symptoms, eg overheating, temperature gauge never rises etc ?

That's what is so strange everything is as it should be except the internal heater doesn't produce hot air :? :-k
