Heater Not Good

[robthemuso]

Hi. Probably been covered already but now the cold weather is here my heater just isn't getting as hot as it should. The temp guage doesn't get more than a quarter of the way up and the aux. Heater remains on for most of the time. I suspect it's the thermostat stuck open but is there any way I can check this before taking out a loan or re-mortgage to replace it. Any ideas.

Hi your thermostat is faulty. Mine was the same. Had it replaced on thursday. Now nice and warm in cabin.and temperature gauge just under half. Try looking here for alternative fitting

How much did it cost to fit and supply for the thermostat? Just so i have a rough idea of cost please? Is it an hour job or longer?

Hi mine was done under warranty. But had quote first to see how much. My local garage wanted £267 supply and fit. The part is £80 from europarts.

Thanks Daz for replying. My garage charges £40 an hour - no vat - so expect it to be about 2 hours then to change?

 

I am not handy enough to do the in-line thermostat.

I was lucky with my car as i bought it 5 month's ago from s dealer. Iv had a few problems with car, but work was done under the sale of goods act. Thats wjy i had them do it. I had the quote justbincase i had to.pay and claim it back. But didn't need to go that way. I thinknits about a 3 1/2 hr job. That's why if you follow the link on here theres an easier and cheaper way of doing it.
