Hoping for some advice before morning, as i will have to put my truck in the garage. i have a 1994 2l sport
Went to pick my wife up from the coach station after work, the journey there was trouble free.
I went for a coffee and returned to my truck to wait for her coach. switched on the engine, the windows appered to be more misty than usual and took longer to clear.
I put on my heaters, and after a short while they still felt cold. the temp guage had started to rise and was just past first white mark. ( my engine normally never goes past this mark in normal running conditions).
so i fiddled about abit the controls, and found that the footwell heater was cold, when i switched controls to demist, this was warm, (normal temp).
driving home, when i came to traffic lights, or stationary traffic, the temp started to rise to second white mark. when i started to move again, i was only really able to maintain the temp from rising with demist and fan on full. where normally the temp would fall if it ever got this high after a couple hundred yards.
Now my question is, would this be thermostat as i still had heat on the demist but not the footwell.
Secondly question, is it possible, blocked heater matrix, as i have heat at the dimist, but not footwell. and would this cause engine temp to rise quicker than normal.
or do i have something bigger wrong.
