Right, fitted a new OE heater control valve earlier today as it was stuck on cold... started her up and it warmed up good and proper... not face meltingly hot, but hot enough! .... Anyway, just took it out for a spin, engine heated up, car heated up fine... untill I took it past 40mph... as soon as its going about 40+ it just gets 'room temperature' air coming out. Tried recirc, just the same, checked for leaks at the hcv etc, all fine. I'v a dangerous amount of knowledge about cars (enough to have a bash at anything, but not enough to prevent explosions!) Could it be thermostat or something? .... temp gauge indicates just below half way. Any help would be muchos appriciato! :roll:
TIA
edit: Just checked pipes to hcv and they're all hot, BUT noticed the faster I'm going the temp gauge does actually drop quite abit, think I'll try thermostat if no one has any other thoughts...
