mintalkin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 most likely the heater controlle valve gone its a common problem, see if you can check for the hose being hot going into the valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymariner Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 dunno whether its the case but the heater blowing cold can be the sign on an airlock in the heater matrix or a blown HG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxrox85 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This is useful to me too as my 1995 ghia always had excellent heating until recently and now it seems to blow freezing air constantly, so much so that it freezes any condensation inside the car! We had thought it to be the stat valve... I can't live without heating a day longer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxrox85 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 ttt please, FREEZING! Does anyone else have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apness Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You could try taking the dash off an seeing if the cable/control behind the heating dial on the dash has broken or become disconnected? If all else (head gasket, heater itself) is ok might be something as simple as a snapped cable to the heater control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just replaced the heater control valve and it's now working a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikarma70 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 easy test to see if its the heater valve solenoid....turn the power on then unplug the solenoid connection,put the connection back on and it should back a clicking sound if its working. if its not working,it will remain silent....easy job to replace.

Manny444 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Check The Following: Check the coonalt system for any leaks + oil in the system Check the system for any air locks Check the head gasket to see if it is gone or on the way out Check the heater control valve to see if it is faulty If you have checked all of these there is only 1 possibility: The only possibility i can think of is that the heater matrix has gone, it doesnt usually go but it sometimes happens. Its worth buying a new one, as they come with warranty and a second hand one will probably go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutt4163 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi, I have a 2001 1.8 TDI (Endure DI) - Can someone tell me if the coolant pipe from the top of the engine goes into the Control valve side with the motor on it (right side if you look at it from the front of the car) and the other pipe from the oil cooler then goes into the control valve with no motor on it (left if you are in front of the car looking at it.) I cannot find any pictures of this anywhere and I do not know anyone with the same car to check...! thanks in advance, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardio Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's the control valve. There's no need to replace it! All you have to do is take it out, clean it and put it back. Makesure you clean the coil and make sure its dry. This has happened to mine twice, both times just as the winter weather is kicking in. Once its had been cleaned, it worked fine.
