Hello everyone,
my octavia is 1.8 TSI and its 3 years old 70k KM.
i want to give some background so maybe you can help me diagnose my problem
2 month ago my car water pump have been replaced.
what happen is the in middle of highway my high temp light turn on and when i stopped and checked i sow allot of coolant spill on floor.
when going to the garage they told me water pump fail and needed replacement.
the water pump replaced.
after month and half i noticed something strange going with my car heater.
when i start the car the coolant temp gauge will get to 90C withing 4-5 min on that time the air flow on the AC is still stone cold when set to highest warmth.
after 10 min the oil temp start getting to 80-85C and only then i will start to feel little warm flow from the AC, only after about 12 min when oil temp is 105C the AC air flow will be warm enough.
from what i remember in the past before this started to happen, after 4-5 min when coolant gauge is 90C a very warm air come from the AC.
what i checked:
i did air bleeding to system.
i started the engine and check the radiator hose to see if thermostat are stuck open(radiator hose was cold until oil temp reached to 90+ Celsius(no coolnat temp).
i checked both hoses the going to the heater and they both was cold until oil temp reached to 90+C.
when the radiator hose becomes hot(probably when thermostat opened) both of the heater hoses become hot gradually.
i need some tips on what to check next.
you help is appreciated
