It's had a new valve, new matrix, new thermostat, dad took the pipes off to see if there was a blockage which there isn't and its been bled, still blows cold?

[creakyjaws5533]

Stupid question is the valve defiantly open to the pipes and is the engine running when you test it after being allowed to warm up, if not no hot water will run through
Hope this helps Jack

Yep it is, cheers

Do the water pipes going through the bulkhead get hot?

[creakyjaws5533]

Is there plenty of water? Maybe a block where the valve sits?

[its_courts28]

Neither pipe going in or out gets hot but there are no blocks or anything

[its_courts28]

How would I tell if there's a block where the valve sits? How would I unblock it?

[creakyjaws5533]

Remove the heater valve should just be two bolts there might be something in there, I don't want to say to much because I'm not 100% sure or something else stuck in the cyclinder head

All that section is new though so I don't understand what's not working, there no reason it shouldn't be

[creakyjaws5533]

Dunno strange I'm afraid that's my knowledge stretched

Sounds like an air lock to me. have you checked to see if there is any water flow through the outlet of the matrix. Whats the temperature of the engine like?? does it run at normal temp??

[reallybig]

yes new thermo but is it the correct temp thermo?

and what temp do you get the engine up to before you turn the heater on
