the air coming out of the vents is not getting warm even when engine is hot:confused: It used to work and get silly hot in the car :confused:even with the blowers on cold. What could cause this?
Im loosing no coolant and the carpet isnt getting wet so matrix hasnt popped can it be air locked as i thought it would just bleed its self if piped up from pump to bottom port of matrix. where is the flap that switches it between hot n cold located? is it poss that the cable has just popped off?
Wouldnt normally worry about this but as its getting cold i need the screen defrosted:rolleyes:

Im unsure what the mechanism looks like but an easy check would be to see if the pipes in & out on the bulk head are getting hot.

That could tell you if there is flow through the matrix?.

on my old gtt i stuck a hose pipe on the matrix pipes in the engine bay, few minutes on each one while watching all the crAAp run out.. that sorted mine out:)
