    Climate control

    Just did the same operation myself in recent days. Gently pull out the ashtray and coin holder units until they are free, there is a small metal clip I think that needs to be depressed Then unscrew the cup holder - there are 5 screws holding it in place Then reach up through the available...

    As squizzel said, it is a fan assisted temp sensor which is part of the climate control.

    Heater matrix 'Gurgling'

    Yes, they do, especially after revving. Then after a few moments, it will settle into a clear stream. It is beginning to get frustrating. When idling in traffic, the heaters start blowing cold inside which is not nice. On a run it is fine and warm though. Any help?

    Is there a big difference between a 94 and say 97 model

    I had a 94 (300 tdi) and a 97 (300tdi) before and other than the 97 being an ES model, there was little between them. The big changes were in 93/94 when the 300 tdi replaced the 200tdi and then in 99 when the DII came out.

    Heater matrix 'Gurgling'

    I had the engine up to temperature (well not up to half way on dash but still quite warm air from vents) When I go to bleed it at the bleed screw, I get 'fizzy' water / coolant, ie really small bubbles and after a while it is just a stream of clear water / coolant. A bit more revving and some...

    Heater matrix 'Gurgling'

    Bled more air out through the bleed screw last night but still more 'bubbling' or 'gurgling' coming from behind dash. I have been just loosening the bleed screw, should I take it out altogether when running the engine, do I have to rev it much? Any one else have thoughts?

    Heater matrix 'Gurgling'

    Morning, Have a 01 td5 (88k miles) which is having coolant loss issues, pretty sure it is not HG related, working through replacing pipework (coolant and pitpework was badly fouled after oil cooler failure earlier in year), found one with a hole for definite. Now the level seems to hold for a...

    Had the same issue regarding the lights and it turned out to be poor earth, mine was somewhere under the glovebox. I did not sort it myself but got an indie to do it.

    leaking water after busted hose

    Found my leak last night, it is coming from the one of the pipes between the header tank and the engine block, quite low down, just over the steering rack when looking from above. Quite a little fountain on it too. The hole is just around the t-junction. Hopefully get it replaced today...

    leaking water after busted hose

    John, Thanks for that, but the cap was replaced last week, I had thought of it and mentioned it to the lads. It is heading back down to them later for another look, at least we now have a general idea of where it is leaking out.

    leaking water after busted hose

    Look forward to hearing how you get on. I am getting pretty frustrated at the same set of issues. Had a lot of the coolant pipe work replaced (pipes were in poor state after oil cooler failure and oil entered coolant), just had the water pump done and still losing coolant. Mechanic is...
