Heater matrix is blocked, you can try to flush it by taking one of the pipes off and sticking a hose up it, you will need fresh anti-freeze after of course

If that doesnt help then you need a new matrix.

If the two water pipes to the heater are getting hot then it could be the temperature flap in the heater box not moving with the heat control on the dash.
Non-aircon use a cable to control the flap. If the control doesn't seem to be doing anything it may have come disconnected and the flap is stuck on cold setting.

Bought a Rascal once with same problem.
Turned out it had no water in the engine.

Ive got a similar problem with my mk5.

when I turn the blowers onto 3 (needs a new heater resistor) it blows hot air for about a minute then goes luke warm. If i turn the blowers to 2 (knackered resistor remember ) hot air comes out when i drive along but not at slower speeds or stopped

checked the water level at the weekend and it was fine

any ideas?

if you use a motor factors, then between £5 and £15 depending where you go. If you go to fords, about £38

Changed my thermostate the other day as mine was blowing out cold air its great now, what is the temp gauge showing on the dash?

[cream2cream]

i will do the same 2morrow

[cream2cream]

changed it and dont make a difference, although i have noticed that the fan just spins around even when u start it up from cold

[crayon]

Could be that the bearing in the fan has seized, can you turn the fan with your hand when the engine is off?

[cream2cream]

yes spins fine

[cream2cream]

shorted the temp guage and it works fine
