Omega Owners Forum - No heat fromheater

Justanother Dave Newbie Offline Posts: 17 Drives: Omega MV6	No heat fromheater 15. Jan 2011 at 09:48 Hi Guys, Had my MV6 a few days now, but only just noticed the heaters don't provide any heat at all.Is there anything I should be checking first? The fans work, but the air coming through seems to be about the same as the outside temp. The coolant level is at max, the gauge sits in the middle (around 80). Thanks in advance.

Clean out the Heater Matrix by pulling off the top and bottom pipes then running the garden hose through the top then the bottom until bothways the water is coming out nice and freely plus clean

Thought it was the other way round ???

Pipe off (and blocked to hold vac) gives max flow through matrix ??? ISTR thats what I did last winter when I had HBV sticking problems ...
