Hi Folks,

Found this gem of a forum whilst searching the Internet in light of an issue I've been having with my TX1. Recently had a conversion from a TX2 to the 2.7 engine from a TX1. Firstly the parts I have replaced since this issue has arisen are:

Water Pump
Radiator
Thermostat
Full system flush.

For the taxi to heat up there must be about 5-10 minutes of solid driving, once you slow down, cold air. Obviously one of my last fixes will be the Matrix, could this be my issue? I will attach a few photos to show the engine bay with the new parts etc and if someone could as much to enlighten me to what the issue is or if they are having something similar I would like to hear your fix!

Did you fit a winter Thermostat....if not it runs cold....and so the heaters

Just got off the phone with the guy that does the parts and he said that in fact we did fit the Winter Thermostat

I would check......was it ok with the ford engine in .

The taxi was bought in England brought over to Northern Ireland and the conversion was carried out here in Belfast so I have no way of knowing what the heat was like when it was a Ford.Thanks .

did it have air con

I had one that had air con..that had a electric cut-off valve fitted into the back heater pipes going from the front to the back.. behind the centre partition.....take it out and put a pipe in it's place.

Thanks for the reply once again, I will be working at the taxi on Saturday i will let you know how things go.
