Not registered on any vag sites, have a tdi A4 thats blowing cold air when accelerating, temperature hand doesnt budge from 90, had new thermostat and water pump fitted recently, done it before water pump was fitted too but seems worse now? Any ideas as to what the problem could be? If i drive at a steady speed it blows hot air constantly.

let it warm up with the header tank cap off and interior heating and blowing on full.

On some vags there is a tiny one way valve inside one of the heater matrix pipes. some aftermarket hoses don't have it and don't tell you to swap swap it over from the old hose.

Are you ok driving it at standard height?

Isn't it against the laws of Northern Ireland or something if it's not scraping along the road with a CB aerial on the back?
