What could be wrong with my Opel Astra's heating?

Hi. I have a 2008 Opel Astra 1.3 diesel estate. My heating in the car is working but the heat is not that hot at all and this isn't normal. My friend has the same car and there is a vast difference in he heat...

Hi Brian,

It's likely that the heating matrix within the car heating system has corroded and needs to be replaced. It could also be the actual switches controlling the heating, but that's less likely.

Either way, you need to get the car to a good mechanic to have it checked over.
