storm99 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The cab heater in my 2.5 N/A 90 is blowing cold all the time, plenty of power in the fan but no difference whether the lever is on hot or cold...any ideas? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Check the push/pull cable, from the lever to the heater, for slip & play, for starters. It's worth checking that the water pipes are hot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'll 2nd Luke, cable clips at heater box can pop off just for fun & leave the cables flapping about so no movemnt of the heater box air flaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look under the bonnet in the morning when i get home...really looking forward to the 50 mile trip as its -3 in denmark and just started to snow...typical...

steve_a Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Of more concern would be low water level! Check the rad and expansion to ensure there is water up there, note the temp gauge can read normal/low when it is just measuring the steam.

I will check the level in the morning, unfortunately the temp guage has not worked since i bought it a couple of months ago...have to get that sorted, i hope its just the cable, it ran 50 miles to work this evening without steam coming out from the bonnet anyway!!

Orange Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Can I just hijack for a second..... It the hot/cold lever attached to the swivel mount on the top of the heater, or the one at the side right next to the bulkhead?? Ta Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars L Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Top. The one on the side is for total air delivery and can be (more or less...) shut closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 OK, ta for that... My next question is where does the fan speed selector attach to?? TIA Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hmm... temp gauge 'not working' and heater blowing cold. Could well be your thermostat is DOA, approx £3 and 20 minutes to fix if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattymender Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Heater not working? How do you tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm99 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well on examination today the 3 way hose from expansion tank to motor and radiator is leaking when the engine is running warm, looks like a couple of coke bottles filled with coolant and water will be my companion until i get the hose delivered from the UK...thanks for the tips, just hope i can survive until then!!

GBMUD Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looks like coolant level may be part of the problem. As I was reading down the thread though, I thought the same as Adz. If the thermostat is US and th weather cold then you will not get any heat into the engine and therefor the heater will not work.
