heaters never get hot when moving

[LukeC88]

i have a dturbo and my heaters never get warm or hot when im driving along. when i sit still they do. my brother said he read something on corsa sport about its the cold air getting to the radiator and cooling it too much and to put cardboard infront of it to stop it? any ideas?

your thermostat might be stuck open overcooling the car

What ozone said. What temperature does it usually run at?

You could put cardboard over the rad as temporary bodge but for 5quid might aswell just replace thermostat Just remember to bleed the system through after otherwise you could have issues!

well when i was sat still for about 20 mins it sat on around 70 or just above but when im driving it doesnt even register on the gauge

id say definatly change thermostat and like tom said, be sure to bleed it properly after. should sort you heater issues

[LukeC88]

thanks guys ill give that a go. bit bloody chilly at the minute to have no heaters working

I was driving around for most of the winter with a broken heater matrix, i completely understand how cold it is haha!

Yeah I'd say 'stat, too. They should sit at around 83 degrees.
