Vitara JLX heater very low /poor heat output
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2016 10:10 am
I am going to have a look at a friend JLX tonight as she is complaining that the heater does not work very well.
I had a very brief glance at mine this morning hopign to see an easy to access hto water flow control valve...but not can't see one in the engine bay.
What I assume is the hot water pipes, coming out of the bulkhead near the steering column (Right hand drive vehicle) , seem to dissapear under the inlet manifiold.
It could well just be that a radiator flush and re fill / bleed will cure it. but if not ??? I guess there must be a hot water flow control valve that controls water supply to the heater box?
Thanks
