mossbomb 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 right i keep losing coolant temperature gauge always sits in the middle and i turned the heater onto hot air and like a mist of vapour came out and it stinks of overheating smell. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 sounds like you heater matrix has given up the ghost, look for wet carpets and coolant drips out of the foot vents, if you put it on hot on the wndscreen it should steam up pretty quick too.This would mean you need a new heater matrix, not particularly expensive, but a pain to do as you need to take the dash out Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Have you checked both front footwells by the center console for wet/damp carpets? Link to post Share on other sites
