Ok so this has been a bit of an issue for a while now.....
Heaters not blowing hot, apart from passenger side air vent as it gets luke warm.
Silica bag burst, caused no end of problems, had the header tank replaced, matrix replaced and everything flushed out and clean before fitting the new matrix. Heaters were all blowing lovely and hot.
Fast forward a year and a half and the heaters started blowing cold again, I thought it may be and airlock as the coolant level had been dropping and messing about. Turned out the water pump seal was leaking.
Booked into the garage, water pump renewed, radiator also renewed as it looked a bit poor. All vacuum filled and bled but still no heat from the heaters (apart from the passenger side vent)
So I've got the car back now and I've checked as much as I can, coolant control valve is hot either side, pipes going into the matrix are hot, pipes coming out are hot, everything seems to be doing. What it's supposed to be doing apart from blowing hot out the vents.
I've removed the glove box and checked the control flap motor, hard to tell of it was working or not, so I removed it and operated the flap by hand, but still just the passenger side getting warm, the drivers side refuses to get hot at all.
Kinda at my wits end with it, got a 2 month old baby so I kinda need the heaters working, but I've run out of things to check.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Had a look through various threads but I've not managed to find any info that I've not already checked
