Hiya People,
I am in the process of buying Volkswagen Golf Driver 1.6 1990 (VERY CHEAP PRICE),
I mainly want this as a project car, so if i end up with no heater no problem.
also if it makes a differance I live in the UK.
Ok, my problem is that the heater does not work, and there is water leaking in the passanger footwell.
My big quest is that could this cause the car to overheat or blow the head gasket?
Does the heater core or matix (I think they are the same) use the same water that is used for the engine (coolant).
By what i have gathered is that they use the same water, meaning the coolant level will go down and cause the car to overheat thus blowing the head gasket - AM I RIGHT?
Is the heater matrix and core the same?
How hard to change (as in diy)?
REMEMBER CAR IS FOR IS A PROJECT CAR FOR ME TO FIX UP.
I Thank you all in advance for answering my question, thank you!
