Ive seen a corsa do this before and it was indeed a blocked heater matrix.
A bit of hose pipe action in both directions soon restored notmal heater warmth function :)

No I will try that tomorow, but if there was an air block in the system wouldnt it start getting really hot?


DAZ1985

posted on 26th Jan 08 at 18:57

no because it wouldnt be cooling the water.

Hi guys, my other half has just bough a corsa sport 1.6 16v, and the heaters dont work (dont blow out hot air). The car runs at normal temperature and doesnt get too hot or cold.

Straight away I thought heater matrix, but someone said try the thermostat 1st as its cheaper, could it be the thermostat? james
