I believe that is what the FBH, or, fuel burning heater is supposed to cure... The question is have you got one and is it working? My old TD6 would be blowing warm air after 7 or 8 minutes, even in the depths of winter.


Because it was cold yesterday - I'm sure you noticed Smile - I ran the FBH (using the remote).

Once running the car warmed up nice and quickly.

Then found this in the Wiki: http://www.fullfatrr.com/wiki/FBH

On Td6 models, additional heating reduces the heater warm-up time and is also used to maintain heater performance throughout the drive cycle. On V8 models, additional heating is only used to reduce the heater warm-up time at the beginning of the drive cycle, and only occurs if parked heating is already active when the engine starts.

If I've read it right ...

Your old TD6 would have always used the FBH (when required).

But my TDV8 needs me to have switched the FBH on before I jump in and start the car.

Going to have to test this now Smile What do I put here then?

I har the same thing happening, I believe it was because I filled the system with water temporarily to check after repairing a leak. I found that the seals had swollen, probably because of osmosis because I filled the system with water.

It would be interesting to hear if others have had experiences with slow or no heat after filming with water or Even changing Concentration of coolant (may happen when changing coolant). 2006 Supercharged

Can you get hold of an infrared thermometer and check what your engine temperature is before you start changing things?
