   Since I've had my saxo it not had and heating what so ever I've been told it maybe my heater matrix but then I've also been told it maybe the thermostat as it uses so much fuel for a 1.1. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can tell me which it is or if anyone may know which it is ?
   
   Cheers

   I think it is probably the thermostat not opening, so no water is getting past it to the engine and heater matrix.
   guessing it doesn't have a temp gauge on it, with it being a 1.1 like mine?

   could be head gasket mateis one of the signs
   check your oil and your water levels

   I got told it was cause the thermostat wasn't closing so the coolant was circulating all the time and not getting the chance to heat up as its cooling straight away and cause of that the ecu think it's cold and is over fueling hence the reason for the fuel consumption to be so high and the fact it's so sluggish. An I regularly check the oil and coolant and that and it's all fine so I don't think it the head gasket well I hope not anyway haha but I won't rule that out just incase.
