Hey guys, just picked up a 99 manual ce GLI off a friend for a steal and long story short the heater doesn't work.
I've flushed the coolant but still no luck. No heat comes out at all. The temp gauge gets to about halfway and the car doesn't overheat, so I'm gonna assume that rules out faulty water pump or thermostat.
What's the most likely case for heaters not working on these cars? Should I flush the heater core? Any tutorials out there for this?
The car hasn't done a lot hard yards. so I'm assuming it's nothing major, it's only at 170xxx KM. There is the lightest amount of white smoke (barely noticeable) that comes out of the exhaust when you give it some gas - not sure if this is relevant
