    Thanks! Just used your video to do this and I’ve got heat again! Is there any reason why this wouldn’t work if it’s caused by the matrix being clogged…. Like where you would definitely need a new heater matrix? If it’s not leaking it seems like a metal part white no moving pieces wouldn’t fail, never had this happen on cars with 300,000+ miles on them.

    • @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms
      @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms Місяць тому

      Thank you for this very interesting question. There are a handful of possible causes. Often though, it's caused by not doing coolant changes semi-regularly. And also not using the correct or any anti-freeze. The anti-freeze part of coolant isn't just to prevent freezing, it's also used as a lubricant for the water pump moving parts and an anti-corrosive. Without it, the iron in your engine block and the aluminium in the head, Radiator etc can start to corrode and can then get pulled through the system and build up in any narrowing spaces, such as within the heater matric/core, radiator and in small cooling jackets within the engine. Is these deposits stay there, they will collect more and more small bits and will build up and often cause blockages. Hope this helps answer your question!

    Hi i have a similar car audi 2010 a3 8p7. Now no heater working car is overheating a bit. No error codes. Someone said it is the heater control valve. Can you please tell me where it is located? Under the dash or under the car? Any easy tip to replace it is highly appriciated!

    • @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms
      @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms 2 місяці тому

      Hi there. If the car is overheating, it's less likely to be the heater control Valve. This would only affect the cabin heating system. I would suggest you check the thermostat unit first as the thermostat/waterpump unit is made of plastic and are common to fail. Also the blend doors are a known common fault also, these will affect the cabin temp control also. But the heater control valve is usually located under the dash, within the HVAC box. Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the video clip, now I know a bit how the manual transmisson works, your explain very clear. I use manual a long time, now I see how it works. I have Toyota celica, recently it doesn't move in 1st, 2nd gear, but it moves in 4 gear, and the reverse gear is fine (very normal). I wonder this is the problem of the transmission or the clutch worn out. Anyone has an idea?

I can see you know what youre doing , so are these jobs something you would consider doing for me? I've lost faith in my garage as they way overfilled my oil on a standard service (by an inch) and that's what caused the oil leak I believe. Hope you don't mind me asking.

    Hi, my audi a3 cabriolet 2010, engine overheating when driving 20 or more minutes, when revs are about 2k. Initially thought it was the head gasket, apprentice done a sniff test which apparently was positive then the mechanic done one a few days later which was negative. Warranty company done one too that was negative. In the process of getting the timing belt/water pump and thermostat done. But if the issue is still here, could it be this issue??

    • @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms
      @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms 9 місяців тому

      Hi there. There likelihood is that you have a head gasket, Thermostat or blocked radiator issue. Have you confirmed that the radiator fans actually come on correctly? Thermostats are a common issue on this gen Audi A3. A sniff test is not totally accurate unfortunately, so it may be that you have a head gasket issue. So check gans working correctly. Then Thermostat. Radiator flow check. Finally water pump and head gasket

    How do you bleed air in the heater core after flushing

    • @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms
      @AutisticCarGuy-OriginCustoms 6 місяців тому

      You are best trying the typical bleeding process. Fill the cooling system with Max line. Then with heater on full heat and full blower speed. Run until the coolant has hit the 90 degrees Celsius mark, (until thermostat had opened). Then running until there is no further bubbles coming to the top of the reservoir. Once this has happened. If your air is starting to feel warm inside the car. Put the cap back on the coolant reservoir, then go for a 15/20 minute drive. Let the engine cool down, then open the coolant cap, if the level has dropped, top up until the Max level again

    Thanks for the great video - Just had mine back from garage today for a check on the lack of heating - they quoted about £1000 incl VAT (as a rough estimate) to change the heater matrix and seals, header tank etc - they checked with the local Audi dealer for prices for parts and they were told that they are selling about 3 heater matrix units per day due to the silicone bag rupturing and clogging up the heater matrix. - going to have to live with the cold until i can get around to trying this back flush method.

I took it to a few garages and they all came up with different things it could be and some of the prices I was quoted ranged £1000 to £1500!!.so I eventually found a garage who took the job on and they basically gave the gearbox a new clutch and overall replaced other bits and pieces in their and got me back on the road for £500. They look after my car now for anything else it needs. My advice is to shop around and look for good reviews on garage services.
