1997 1.8GLX - Heater Problems - 420 Turbo Diesel
Hi,I am having heater problems with the heater on my 1997 1.8GLX Petrol Model.When I turn the blower on it blows warm for a short while,then it goes cold.There is nothing wrong with the cooling system as it gets to normal on the temp gauge.There is no oil in the water and all the pipes that I can get to are getting hot.I am sure there are no headgasket issues.Any ideas? Thanks Andrew...

Back-flush the heater matrix; this sounds as though it's either clogged, or there's insufficient water flow.
