Title: thanks to taxi al
Post by: brian36 on 16 February 2015, 21:03:47
thanks for working on my mv6 today good job nice and toasty all way back and thermostat sat fraction over 85 all the way, obviously windows still steaming up but cleared a fare bit, guess need to get air con checked as you said, but thanks for today it's much appreciated even if traffic was nightmare :y

If windows are steaming up check your HBV is ok. Had this the other week coming back from WIM. New HBV and all good now.

Aircon isn't working...

Heater temp is spot on, cabin air is almost the same temp as thermostat/rad hose, and fan is as good as any I have encountered :y

No evidence of coolant leaks either.

So anyway nipped round to kwik fit wolverton who have just put on machine and although apparently done a few months ago elsewhere there is no gas in so now putting small amount in with dye to locate any leak before I continue and just for info talking to chaps here they are getting hunter geometry set up installed which they say as good as wim but will see they reckon can set up omegas properly and it's getting equipment in many of its places

So after visit they have filled and added dye machine could pick up leak so told to run a few days and come back they will re check and never charged me at moment so blowing cold now and hopefully this will help with fogged up windows thanks

Hopefully that'll sort the steamy windows :y

Hunter Hawkeye is what WIM use, so should be able to set the car precisely to any given measurement within reason and assuming the car isn't banana shaped ;D

Fingers crossed, and if there is a leak it will be easy to spot with the dye :y
