heat

Hi all My rest function in my 202 has started to not produce heat for longer than 10 seconds. It used to keep me warm for a good 20 - 25 minutes! Any ideas on the cause? I see it works by an auxiliary water pump, my thinking is that this has failed and the hot water in the pipe is cooling...

It appears that heat from the engine is entering the cabin of my 1986 R107 SL. After driving for an hour or so the cabin starts becoming oppressively hot, and after around two hours of driving the dashboard becomes almost too hot to touch. This is with all heater controls turned off, and very...

This week's problem with the car... There is no heat coming into the car, regardless of what thermostat settings are made. If I demand full heat on both sides, the fans go crazy but deliver only ice-cold air. The engine side of things appears to be in order, running at correct temp, coolant up...

Hi all Yeasterday was out in the car with the family, the heater was working well, until i stopped briefly, (leaving the wife and little one watching a DVD whilst i was in the shop), when i returned and continued the journey the air coming through the vents was freezing!, even when the temp set...

Hi, Some will know my car has been off the road due to an accident last year. I have repaired it and now its back on road I have found I am getting no hot air inside. Also I work around 5-6 miles from work and the temp gauge barely moves. Any ideas? I don't have aircon, but have the EC button...

Exhaust heat shield was damaged on my R170, local garage removed it said it wasn't worth replacing as it doesn't actually do anything. Should I get it replaced or are they right and I should forget about it?

Hi everyone, The heat shield for the exhaust on my car seems to have broken off most its mounting points and now I have this annoying rattle that comes from the back :wallbash: After doing a search on the forum I found that larger penny washers should do the trick but I am confused as to...

...does anyone have any direct experience of ASHP in conjunction with under floor heating and existing oil central heating?

Reading the adverts written by some of the sellers specialising in Mercedes from the 80's and 90's, a lot of them make a point of listing heat insulating glass as a feature. Is this actually anything other than standard car window glass slightly tinted green? Was it actually an option on any...

Hi, I have a problem of very little hot air from vents. I have read various posts regarding duo valve etc and was wondering if someone could tell me the best way to fault find please. Symptons: Motorway: temp gauge around 40 degress In traffic: goes up to 80 - 85 Climate set at max or 32...

Geoff Mackley and Drew Bristow are behind this spectacular video footage taken from inside the crater of the Marum Volcano on the Pacific Island of Vanuatu. In a recent interview he said he was actually about 400 meters from the lava surface- but thats too close for me! IAxj2ob_JoU

Hi all, just driven about ten miles home , and not racing, put the car (c43) in garage as usual, and when i returned 5 mins later it felt rather warm in there, when i touched the top of wing it was almost too hot to keep my hand on it ! I have taken the car out now just to let it cool down and...

...that is the question! I'll be putting it under wool mix dense carpet (which I've heard could be a problem) and quickstep wood flooring. And on top of suspended wooden flooring. I'm thinking of wet, as I've heard its better for longevity, and running costs. I was wondering how it's...

lopes seeing as you have the ultimate in Charge Cooling Systems in your car you may be able to help me with this one! My engine bay is much to hot which rises my Air Intake Temperature to very high levels, even when stationary it runs at around 55c and at 80 mph almost 70c, I believe I am...

Around 2pm this afternoon i heard my car alarm going off, so i looked out of the window. Nobody around so i thought it was probably just the heat affecting the sensors in the car and thought nothing more of it. Around 6pm after it had cooled down a bit i decided to give the car a hoover out...

Hi I need to repair a water heater i have. The internal cable has snapped so i need to replace it. I heat liquid in it to 110 degrees. I need a short length (about half a metre would do) of heat reistant cabling to replace the cable inside. I was thinking of this: 1.5 HEAT...

Has anyone successfully installed a Daikin Altherma HT Airsource Heat Pump to their home? If so, their views would be most welcome. For anyone that's interested, it's the first airsource heat pump that I've come across that provides 80c flow rate to existing/conventional radiators (and can also...

I found this thread on the subject, but wondered if there was any more to learn? I'm curious that it only ever seems to be the n/s mirror which doesn't heat properly. My n/s door mirror does not get warm at all; not even slightly. O/s is fine and clears in a couple of minutes. Lovely and...
