Re: Thermostat not opening bottom hose cold

I recently bled mine.

And took a good 40 mins for the bottom hoses to get hot.

Have you talked the thermostat out and tested it to check its working?

Service Manual V6

Does anybody know if there is anywhere you can buy a digital pdf version of the service manual?

Thanks!

Re: Front Heater Hoses

Yeah that’s the diagram I posted. And that’s what I took from it. The replacement hose I got seems a bit too long though for that orientation.

And lots of people seem to have it the other way round! I’m not entirely sure if it even matters which way they go. . .

Re: Front Heater Hoses

No. It’s this one.

I am still none the wiser on which way round they should be!

Drivers side/ longer hose to the top of heater matrix or other way round #-o

Re: Front Heater Hoses

Or am I confused? :lol:

But I’m pretty sure those are the coolant hoses in the diagram for the heater matrix.

Showing the left one going to the top. And right one going to the bottom of the heater matrix. Is that the correct way round?

Re: Front Heater Hoses

I think you might be a bit confused?

That diagram shows the flow and return for the front heater matrix. This hoses are the coolant hoses for the front heater matrix.

Re: Front Heater Hoses

I currently fitted them the sane way round as the diagram.

But a few other pictures I have seen people have them the other way around.

Front Heater Hoses

Can anybody help with which way round the front heater hoses go? Looking at the diagrams it seems to show the bottom of the front heater matrix goes to the passenger side t piece and the top of the heater matrix has the longer hose going to the drivers side metal pipe. But I have seen a few pictures...
