Hi guys,
New to the forum! I have a 2009 CR140 (Mapped to 186bhp)
I seem to have lost my heating, it just gets Luke warm now.
According to the temp gauge on the dash the car gets up to 90 degrees within 10-15 mins of driving, doesn't fluctuate at all
Coolant in the header tank is cold after driving 40~ mile. Coolant level has never changed in the last year, correct colour, no odd gunk etc.
Pollen filter is newish, clean, I've tried it without a filter at all and still the same.
Heater is slightly warmer if I have the recirculation/demist button pressed
Moving the temperature control to cold certainly makes the heating cooler, if it's on the hottest setting it is luke warm - Never gets hot.
Air con works fine
So I did a bit of a test.. drove 40 mile round trip so car was fully up to temp sat at 90 degrees on the dash. Stopped and let it idle for 5 mins or so with blower switched off then put it on full heat with blower on highest setting and it did blow hot air for 20-30 seconds then started cooling off. I then checked and the rad is hot, pipes I could reach are hot, coolant in header tank is still cool though.
Any ideas? I’m leaning towards thermostat.
Cheers
Jordan
