anadin Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 try new expansion cap and refill system to eliminate any air , assuming you have no mixing of oil & water then agree with water pump Quote

humax Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Hi, I have recently sorted out an overheating problem that was due to the waterpump on a Galaxy 2000 Tdi. However, since it has overheated, we get a burning smell from the heater whenever hot or warm air is selected. It is OK on cold only so the smell appears to be from the matrix? Any ideas? Has the heater been damaged? Many thanks. Humax. Quote
humax Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Just to add - it is like a hot plastic smell. Quote
