Can anyone help? My heater isnt blowing hot air into the car. The fans are running and I can feel hot water going into the matrix and out of the matrix (both pipes are red hot).
Is it possible that the matrix is blocked and the water can come back out?

To be completely honest with you mate, I think it will be the plastic pieces of vents inside the heater box that have broken. Its not all that common really on a 206, but I work in a peugeot garage and the 407's that come in for heater not working and this being the case, its just countless. To rectify this it would be a dash out job and strip the heater box down. Also if the car has aircon, that will need to be sucked out, then fresh put back in when the problem is rectified.

I would check the temperature control cable before you start ragging everything out it might have just come off.
I took my controls out the other week and it was a monumental pain in the a**e to connect all the cables back on especially when some of the plastic bits that hold them on had snapped. Even more so when you didn't remember which cable was which and connected them all to the wrong buttons

check that the wires at the reostat situated inside the box where the blower fan is the plug that connects to the reostat i found that the thick red wire in that plug got extremely hot and melted a bit into the plug causing it not to make contact anymore just bend the contacts back so that when you connect it again it will make contact and it works again

when you adjust the heat can you hear the sound of a flap moving behind dash?
also is the air filter clean and not blocked?

I made the mistake of turning it on without the filter
