Fiat Punto 60S

[Nuclearsquash]

Hello,

My other half has a punto, it's got a few probs, but the one that needs fixing most is this.

Currently the heater doesn't appear to work, well it does but very very slowly, and not very warm. It will nominally warm up over a period of 40 minutes. So i was wondering if anyone had any ideas at what to look at before stumping up for a haynes manual.

Cheers

buy some rad flush.
i'd imagine the heater matrix is full of gunk.

How quick does the temp gauge move?
Could be your thermostat that needs changing.
Not expensive.
