Having done a search i am still none the wiser:Heater is no-where near as good in my s16 as my old diesel 306  or my 200sx i don't have a leaky matrix windows do de-mist ok, no issues with steammy windscreen Adjuster knob appears to be working ok, i can get cold air right through to just about warm air Car warms up and cools down fine air remains warm if i have the fan on 1 or 4 Any ideas fellas? Ther heater on my diesel was like a nuclear reactor lol! |

Similar problem to me, have you bled the coolant system? Could be an airlock or a dodgy thermostat________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

afaik its 88 deg same as the 6, so once up to temp the thermostat and fans should regulate it to that.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Actually having athink... what temp should the s16 run at normally? cause its not really going much above 70 unless i'm stationary ? In cooler weather my temp sits at around 85C whilst in motion. Once standing for minutes it rises to like 95C, then back (fans stg1). Come summer and it more like 100C whilst driving. ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |
