No Heating

[Guest iancar]

:rolleyes: i have recently had the water pump replaced on my galaxy, this was suspected to be causing my car to overheat, my car heating now blows cold all of the time even with the engine at normal temp, i'm getting it in the ear from the wife as she drives it mostly, has anyone got any ideas on what the cause might be???

 

thanks

i am assuming you have climate control. have you tried decreasin the temperature to the coolest setting and and then increasing the temperature again?

 

it worked for me when i had a similar problem after fitting a new air con compressor.

[Guest iancar]

yes i have climate control, i did today get it to work slightly when i had it turned down to the lowest speed setting, as soon as i tried to increase the speed however it just went cold again no matter what i did,

 

cheers

have you tried reducing the temperature (blue button) to minimum and then increasing?

[Guest iancar]

i'll give it a go tomorrow, i'll post the results.

Hi m8. Has the thermostat been refitted after the water pump was replaced? Its not unusual for it to be left out or incorrectly fitted.

yes, it is a good idea to check the thermostat, the dealer never put mine back in and i had similar no heat problems

My money is on an air lock. The engine is heating up as normal so there should be hot water available.

 

Try taking the expansion bottle cap off and running the engine from cold up to the point where the radiator fan comes on.

thanks all again, i'm off out tomorrow so i'll try all of the suggestions from everyone, just for info the thermostat wasn't changed during the water pump as it had only been in the car for about 6 months, i thought it would be alright, on the airlock note the water had just recently been drained so i'll work on that point even harder.

 

thanks all again

Ian
