Hello again,
No luck so far.
- I removed the heater matrix pipe, and turned on the engine for 2 seconds, the flow is very good and the pump is working.
- I removed the other pipe, and flushed the matrix with garden hose, I also flushed the radiator and the engine coolant circuit, put everything back without changing the water pump, and filled it with coolant mix.
- As I said before, I watched the blend doors arms moving from outside the heater box, but I didn't open the heater box to see from inside yet.
- I disconnected the vacuum pipe to the brake servo, turned on the car with gas pedal depressed, and that made no change to the heater temperature ( to rule out any vacuum effects).
Symptoms now are:
- The vents are blowing "almost hot" air sometimes, lukewarm air sometimes, and colder air sometimes, before the flush the air was ice cold.
- Both matrix pipes from inside the car is getting very hot, before the flush one was getting hot and the other was not.
- When it blows warm, the central vents is much warmer than the left and right vents, the rear vents is ice cold most of the time (it got warm only once).
- When I put the circulation on, drive the car, and rev it, the circulation turns off during the revving.
Notes:
- The outside temp sensor is giving me the actual temp on the screen, but I guess there is another one for the climate control, because when I diagnosed it with "O P C O M" the temp was 8 degrees Celsius higher for the outside.
- The inside temp sensor for the cc is also false reading, it reads 28 degrees, but it is much colder (I guess 12-16 degrees).
- The vents temp sensor for the cc are also false reading with higher than actual readings for all 4 vents.
Question:
- Aren't the cc supposed to ignore all the sensors readings when on "HI"?
Any help or suggestion is much appreciated.
