806 heater problems

Unread post by tony1961 »

Hi There.
Im just looking @ an advert for a 1998 806 Roland Garros with 96000 miles. One of the problems is the heater does not work. they have been told its the waxstat (has A/C). Does anyone know if this is the case OR what it might be. Also does this 1.9td have a bosch pump, thanks tony.

Hi Tony

If its the thermostat that's at fault the temperature gauge will read low and will take a long time to rise from cold. Don't know about the pump for sure but I think most of the late 1.9s used a Lucas pump.

Could well be stuck (open) or missing thermostat along with other causes. As Peter has said will be obvious via very slow temp gauge movement.

Other causes are clogged heater matrix due to coolant change neglect or an airlock in the heater itself (not that uncommon if someone does not know how to bleed it)
