heating blowing cold, gggrrr, help please???

Was it hot & now it,s just cold or has it been cold  only  & no heat  for a while ?

The more info you give the more chance the experts on here have of diagnosing the problem .

What year & which  engine would help to start.  Any coolant leaks at all etc.

With full input from you they will hopefully get to the bottom of it  :y :y :y

Do you know which engine you have ?   V6      or 4 cylinder ?

Is engine temp gauge  running at normal  mid position ?

Could be something as simple as a vacuum pipe off .  :-\

Someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly.

There is an Omega meet in Kent tomorrow I think  , West Malling  ME19   area if you are fairly near  . someone there would almost certainly have a look for you . :y

Check out the meetings page

check water level in expansion tank-if low that could cause problem too if v6 check small vacuum pipes to/from brake servo-they split on plastic T pieces and that stops HBV=no heat

Vacuum is used to turn OFF the heat, so no vacuum equals heat.

Whip the small vacuum pipe off the top of the HBV, and plug the end of the pipe with a small bolt, leaving the "stub" on the HBV open to air....  see if you then get heat.

If you can't find the HBV pop to the meet and get one of the guys to do it !!!
