Heaters blowing cold air!!!
Need some help got in the car this morning and switched heaters on as normal and normally they blow warm air out after driving for a few minutes but they didnt,but as the car got to a good temperature it started blowing warm air so didnt think anything of it. And then after parking up and then turning the car back on literally 5 minutes after it was blowing cold air again whilst i was stationary and then started blowing warm air again once i started driving again what could this be? Headgasket or something or am i being fussy?

radiator, my 94 classic went through 3 in a year, head gaskets, cracked block, radiator hose/any water hose, only way you can tell is fill it up and get it running with the heaters on get it in the air and just wait to see if it leaks, could also be the heater matrix gone

westy94wrx, fill the header tank with water and give a a blast on boost if your heaters turn cold suddenly and there is no water left in the header tank chnces are it's your head gasket.
As soon as the heaters turn cold lift off stop and check your water level, remember to carry enough water with you to top it up again.
It's best to do this with the car fully up to temp and the heaters blowing hot, but remember to stop ASAP if they blow cold!!!
