Steamy Windows

**Big Bad T** · 13-02-2007,12:59 AM

Right i bought a 97 A4 1.9 TDI SE 110 and the heater only ever put out luke warm air at best i did a flush of the system in case the heater matrix was blocked i refilled with coolant now if i put the heater on at all it just steams up the windows in the car i have to drive round with the the temp set on lo and everything is fine but as soon as i turn the heat up to even 18 O/c it gives out a puff of smoke through the vents and it,s steamy windows time again There's a faint smell thats like hot rubber but the system does not seem to be airlocked.
Am i missing something
Please Help

You have a leak hence the steam.

Would that cause the smell as well!!

It sounds like the matrix is leaking this would account for the smell and the steam.M

I take it that means the dash has to come out to get at it

Not sure about that I hope not as my A4 heater is poor and I suspect a blocked matrix haha.M
