You didn't mention your engine temp gage. If you have a bad thermostat frozen in the "Open" position - the engine will run cold and the heaters will barely put out any heat - and the rear heater will be the hotter of the two because of it's proximity to the engine. If it's not the thermostat - and the rear heater puts out good heat - then you have a blockage or restriction somewhere in the forward heater system - obviously. Bad heater valve, kinked control wire would be the biggest suspect. John John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com

I’ve checked the operation of the valve and everything looks good. I recently took the power pack (engine and tranny) out of the vehicle to fix a tranny problem. Could there be air in the heater radiator? If yes, what’s the best way to get rid of it? Or do I need a new rad? > Best regards. > Gilles Turmel > > |
