Hi all



I know this has been covered a few times, but I have just followed advice found elsewhere on here and swapped the pipes over on the heater box under the bonnet of Veggie (my 110 CSW).



I was somewhat sceptical about whether I would niotice the difference as I couldn't work out WHY it would be any better.



Amazed!



I have just taken Veggie for a blast round some local lanes and for the first time since I've owned him, he has a REAL heater...almost car- like in its heat output.



My real question here is ....



...WHY does it work? Anyone know?

Probably filling from the bottom and getting rid of an airlock or most likely backflushing the crap out of it.

one or other of those. However, IME, after a bit if it gets feeble again, swapping the pipes back to where they were originally also works.

Looks like a potential new regular task to add to my personal servicing schedule then, swapping them abck and forth occasionally.

Thanks for the responses !

I'd guess you're right. In which case it won't do the pump a power of good to loosen the crud and have it all flying around in the system.

Better to flush it properly, surely?
