Title: 24V Heater pipes
Post by colinw on Dec 19^th, 2004, 2:17pm

Hi All please could anybody advise of the direction of flow of the water to the heater pipes i.e. does it go from left to right or vice versa as looking from front of car,Also any idea how the flaps are controlled from the CC panel ,im assuming the heater matrix is hot all the time ,and im trying to sort a problem with mine in that after a reset heater is baking hot ,but after about 3mins it starts blowing cold and is worse on drivers side ,both heater pipes are hot but not as hot as main radiator top hose ,and im not sure if reverse flushing would help the situation

Looking from the front of the car the water goes in the left side and out of the right side. There is no shut off valve to restrict the water to the heater matrix The hot air flow is controled by a series of flaps behind the dash

cheers Steve ,i wasnt sure which way it went my problem is that the heater blows out cold air on drivers side until a reset is done then it blows really hot for a few mins ,then blows cold again until a reset is done and im not sure if its the heater matrix blocked or if its the CC control unit at fault ,but ive got to start somewhere
