Hi
I've had ongoing heating issues with my 1.7 Puma, the heater would blow hot and cold randomly and recently I noticed the engine overheating after travelling 20 miles or more.
After researching about it, I decided to change the HCV and this sorted the overheating. However the heater still blows hot and cold. If I drive 40mph or under, the heater will blow hot air constantly. If I drive over 40 mph it will turn cold.
I've checked around the oil cap for any white residue and have not seen any so I'm guessing the head gasket is fine.
Anyone had the same issue or has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks
Jeff
