Verwarming in my 1.9d van 1995

[Hogan]

My heater is only partly working. The vents on the side blow out warm not hot air. The vent at my feet blows out warm not hot air, and the central vent beside my radio only blows out cold air ? My engine is running well and is not overheating. Does anyone know what the problem might be ? The blowers also do not seem to blow fully, its as if everything is set at medium.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Probably you have a problem with the heater inside the dashboard.
If there isn't enough hot water to float trough than the temperature wil not be "hot"
What you also can try to feel with your hand if the in and out side hose is warm or hot.

The air vents by the radio always blow out cold air, unless you have a airco or climate control.

Hi Hogan,

Maybe its your heater valve.
Check (in the engineroom) the valve which is on your cooling tubes. Near the firewall.
Maybe this valve -or the cables from your dashboard to it- are a bit obstructed so it wo'nt properly open.
In this german link you can see images what to look for:

Try to move the lever from one to the other side a couple of times.

Succes!

The center vents are supposed to blow only cold air. They are not connected to the heated system.
Only the ones near the side as well as the ones below the dash are heated.
If they just get warm and not hot I also think you should first check the water level.
