Thanks paul. Much appreciated

Hi there Mr PJ, my heater does not blow air at all however when driving hot air comes out. I suppose mine is not blocked but something is wrong with blowing mech, I dont know

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Hi.. Could be your heater control valve in the engine Bay, could be stuck open, or the cable de- tached

[@matthewernstzen8347]

Where can I get that turning point to set how low or high ?

[@rashaadsmith7799]

Bro my heater blows cold. The pipes that lead to the fire wall are not hot they luke warm. Someone said I should replace my heater valve. What do you think ?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Could be your thermostat stuck open,,or you have no thermostat ,if the coolant is not heating up to hot ..

[@rashaadsmith7799]

I got it to work. Heater valve and one pipe was blocked. I pulle the cable that goes onto the lever. Now I cant change it from the inside. It works fine manually. How dont replace the cable or get it attached again?

Hi PJ's, I'm scratching my head with this heating issue. For some reason, I only get hot air from the windshielddefroster and when switching to the driver and passenger blower, I only get cold air. Any thoughts on this?

[@mikekeuben]

I have this exact problem, not yet found out what it is.

[@lukasvercaempst44]

@@mikekeuben It looks like that's just the way it works from factory, very primitive. I took a look at the heater box again and is seems you can only get hot air from defroster and floor blowers.

[@mikekeuben]

@@lukasvercaempst44 can't be, what year is yours? Mine actually worked and stopped working all of a sudden. I do believe there is a plate that moves inside the heaterbox when you go from window to the canals facing us.

Hi thanks. My fan also makes alot of noise sometimes.

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Check on the actual fan under the rain tray...sometimes leaves and debris get into it

[@ayyooballie5011]

Thanks any tips on a very noisy interior fan

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Hi there. The fan blades could be touching something... Or there could be leaves or something in that area where the fan spins. You will have to have a closer look at the fan by lifting up the rain tray.. Switch on the fan and observe what is causing noise. You may just see something

[@ayyooballie5011]

Hi,I removed my heater core on my Golf Mk1,flushed it out and allot of dirty water came out almost dark brown rusty,I changed my heater matrix near the firewall aswell and manualy put the selector to open cause my selector cable snapped,the car heated up to half on the gauge but still no warm air inside,I could feel that the pipe was warm at the intake pipe of the core.My blower is also working fine cause the air is blowing inside.Do you have any idea what else could be wrong?I removed the thermostate for now just to see if it would help.

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Hi there. Usually when that happens it means the internal pipes on the core are still partially clogged up.. Could be that u have to flush the core out some more... Use an additive, or even vinegar..

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

But u will have to drive with that additive or vinegar in engine for a while, like a day or 2...for it to do its Job.. But with heater set to the open position..

Hi, my heater is blowing cold air, what could be the problem?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Check on the heater valve in the engine bay..cable could be detached .or matrix clogged up.if so ,do and engine flush.

[@elrickleroyvanwyk9424]

What to do if your petrol light not showing?

[@lynwinoliver667]

Hello Paul,i have a problem my car is blowing hot air but the heater is off

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Hi.. It's your heater control valve in the engine Bay.. The cable may be disconnected, or snapped.. So hot coolant is flowing to your heater constantly..

[@lynwinoliver667]

Thank you

[@realbalaclava]

My Citi Golf blows hot air constantly. Any suggestions?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Have you checked on your heater control valve in the engine Bay yet

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

[@realbalaclava]

@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Will check it out thanks 🙏🏽

[@realbalaclava]

@@pjs-golfmk1-diy I have just replaced the heater control valve and attached the cable. Now it seems the cable disconnected from the temperature control switch. Is there a quick fix or do I have to dismantle the entire dashboard?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

@@realbalaclava no ,don't have to dismantle dash..I think if you take out your radio,(assuming you have old spec dash), you can see the cable through there ..just hook it up to the lever again
