Hot air not hot



Just took my Mk1 Ph1 for a drive for the 1st time this winter and the hot air isnt hot even after driving it for 2 hours. What could the problem be.

the heater matrix

basicly a small radiator located in the cabin and forms part of the coolant system of the engine

you need to change the heater matrix it's probably clogged over time

where it is i don't know behind the dash somewhere at a guess
 
Its your resister pack most lily £80 or so from Renault only takes a few minutes to chgae its on the drivers die almost in the middle under the scuttel panel.

But you might have a blocked heather matrix get the engine hot and feel if the pipes (there two one going to the rad one coming from it) going into the bulkhead on the passenger side on the car near the center (there the only thick pipes going there) are hot.

yeah i got the impression that he's getting air it's just not very hot

thats why i said the matrix and being a mk1 ph1 it's probably a few years old now
 
Indeed its getting air, just not hot. But after about 2 hours it got a lil bit hot.

Its still just a mk1 with 32K so its not used much.
