Glen Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hey, im going for rwc soon but i need my heater working. I'm hoping to borrow some ones experience please. At the moment it just blows cold air straight out. If possible id like to change the heating position to demister (window) and some hot air aswell. I have read about vacum lines being cracked and there for making the direction control useless. I cant even find the vacum lines to start with so i cant check them. Also should i check the water core valve? Sorry for the silly questions but i bought the car in its current state so i dont even know if the vacum lines went back on after the bare respray... Quote
maddos Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 What model is your car? Earlier ones are cable controlled and the later models think 76 and later had the air operated switching. Quote
Glen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 mine is 77 2+2, air operated switching, sounds interesting. Im just about to check the water valve control to see if it jamed shut, also i checked both the intake and return hoses into the core (under bonnet) and they are quite hot however the heater core itself seems to stay quite cold.

Glen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 had a quick sticky, as much as i could with a torch. I found some small vacum hoses which seem to be in good nick, not all the air ducts are hooked up. The tempreture lever all seems to be working except of course it's getting no hot air. I guess i will get right into it tomorrow. How im looking forward to that.......... Quote
oldmates260z Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Not sure if the later Zeds (mines a 75) are the same, but you will only get hot air to you feet and to demist. No hot air will come out the centre vents above the switches. Only cold air. Hope taht helps Quote

Hope taht helps Ok so is it the vacum hoses i need to have a good look at is it isnt changing from front vents to windscreen, well it isnt changing at all. This is the last thing on my list for rwc so im a bit keen Quote
Glen Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 i went over all the vacum hoses under the bonnet and found just about all of them had splits. cut the ends off, reconnected them and now i have a fully functioning heater controls thanks for your help guys Quote
