ashenberry Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 hello Ii hope someone can help as my cars heating has broken and due to the great weather we are having i need to fix it lol. so hopefully i will be able to explain what the problem is: i got home the other night and noticed that the temperature gauge was totally in the red and the fan had kicked in this concerned me as my journey was only 7 miles but i thought it was just low coolant. i checked this and it was just under max. i didn't use the car for a few days so didn't worry about it but i used the car today and now there is no heat at all and there gauge is still going into the red and the fan still kicks in again after a short journey. any advise gratefully received as there is a lot of talk about: blocked matrix heater control valves draining the coolant system etc thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Blocked thermostat? Faulty temperature sensor? Have you had the car plugged into diagnostics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
