no heat-92 audi 80 SE

styler · 05-01-10, 09:33 PM

my father has a 92 audi 80 2litre SE and there is no heat coming from the inside heater.... he has just had the thermostat changed and the heater hose with the bleeder fitted.... there doesnt seem to be much of a flow coming from the engine into the heater matrix...and as far as i can tell it isnt airlocked... is it possible that the water gallerys are blocked up... the car doesnt over heat or anything when being driven... flippin freezin in this cold weather... any ideas....

Broken heater control cable or knob???

How high temp goes? "New" isn't always synonymous to "good".

Highly unlikely, dashboard vents flap is the one which has tendency to fail.

on my 100 the rotary knob pulls a steel cable, the plastic bit which attached the cable had broken.

Try finding the valve which directs hot water to the heater matrix (in the engine bay) and try opening and closing it by hand.

With such valve in B3/B4 is equipped only cars with climate control.
