Heating!
now that the cold weather's arrived I notice that there is very little heat coming from the passenger foowell on my 1.8t. The driver's side is fine. Any ideas on the problem please?

Hi Don. If you click the search button above on the right, put ‘heating passenger side’ in the search area, you will have more suggestions than you can shake a stick at. Let us know how you get on please.

Blocked heater matrix. Often the culprit

As the heater matrix starts to block up internally it's the passenger side that blocks up first then followed by the drivers side. Expect cold feet shortly.---

Try back flushing the matrix, put one end of the pipe in a bucket and the other end to a hosepipe, see how much crud comes out..

Heating!
does anyone have any experience of effectiveness of a flushing chemical?

Not too hard to get the matrix out. Putting it back in was a tad more difficult lining up the pipes.---Some have even cut the ends off both pipes and fitted a short hose with two jubilee clips. Successfully.--- |
