If the heater core is blocked or restricted, this will impact on heater performance and the coolant temperature won't be regulated as designed.

The water flow goes through the matrix to the back of the thermostat providing the heat to open the stat, when the matrix blocks the stat won't open and the heat rises heating the head more than the block. If I was the OP I'd bypass the matrix and take it a run

Today I removed the cover in the engine bay under the windscreen to gain access to the heater pipes passing through the bulkhead. Both pipes have a connector attached as they go into the bulkhead, they are located directly below the A/C pipes and flange. I am wondering if I'm better off cutting these pipes to flush the heater. I know its a long shot, anyone know the internal size of these pipes so that I can re-connect after cutting?
