This will only fix the heat if you engine is running at the correct temperature!
If you engine is running cold check your thermostat first

(11-11-2011, 11:23 AM)serverman777 Well lets just hope so, fingers crossed!
Indeed. A word of warning: the genuine Bosch rebuild kits are apparently out of stock in some areas.
There is another brand (sorry I forgot the initials, something like ATP) available but be warned some people are saying the insert only lasts a few months.
I found this out after I did mine with the other brand, about a month ago, of course
