righty ho .. here goes 1999 escort 1.8 td ,, takes a long while to heat up ,once hot heater ok for 30ash miles then starts to blow cold check water in header its ok ,, undo water bleed tap {on thermostst pipe} let water replace airthen top up with bout2 pints of water no signs on any pipe or joint or signs of hesd gasket gone,,, any ideas anyone
ps there are 2 HARD PLASTIC GROMITS with small holes in are these supposed to be there ??????????????/

 

try changing the state m8!

 

funny theres alot more questions about diesels since the weather got colder,as above
check the stat first.

 

will do,,,,,,,,, but what do you recon to plastic widgets in pipes

 

if u could get some pics of these gromits it would help . but as above check that its got a stat and it works

 

Will try but there bout 1.5" down hoses

 

If thee that far down and both look the same chances are there suppose to be there. Might be somthin to do with slowing down the water flow for the best level of heat conduction

 

many thanks

 

is this what your looking for

 

no got that these are plastic bungs with small holes throuhg then ,,,,,
flow restrictors?
