Hi there - I am having the same issue with my 2001 XJ8. Ice cold A/C, no heat. Driving me nuts as well. Yesterday, I replaced the auxiliary heater pump thinking it might be the issue (generally the nr 1 defect) but in my case it was not the issue (turned out my pump was working). My next guess is the heater valve as well - but I am planning to put up a thread in the X308 section just in case. There's also another (non-return) valve at the entry of the pump, but I don't think this one is the problem. I will keep an eye on this thread just in case someone comes up with ideas, and I will share with you what I find out on my end as well. Lucky here in NC that weather is still decent, but we will soon get some frost in the AM and will need to defrost !!

I have posted this before if you are interested but on my 2005 STR after I replaced my DCCV and the AUX pump I followed Brutal's suggestion and unhooked all three heater hoses and flushed and then reversed flushed just the heater core. I saw nothing come out and it was unrestricted.
But afterwards I had heat!!
Cheap to do and not to hard.
But have you changed the DCCV or checked if it's leaking? They often start seeping long before you see symptoms.

my s has the same problem. 2 Hot pipes to the bulkhead then cold on the 19 mm return but hot on the 19 mm side entry pipe return. Water pump works ok. Did the flush work for the others. I thought there is either an air block in Heater or a bypass valve next the heater core controlled by sensors etc. Would a flush fix an air lock. My heater works ok 2 hours a month so I think its a control tap issue caused by wires loose or sensors. Is there a diagram of this part of the heater system? I remember the days of a simple tap on off......Paul

You had hot pipes to and from the core, as do I, right????.
Your mechanic replaced the heater tap (DCCV) alongside the radiator, RH side, and now all is sweet????.
AS you may have read, mine (3ltr), so NO extra pump, has HOT pipes to the firewall, all 3, and NO heat inside the cabin, so spouse is not happy in 4c temps. Worked fine a few months ago.
The taps here are about $300, so I really would like to make sure before forking out that sort of money. The DCCV on ours is not damp externally, so maybe an internal leak?.
Advance thank for any info you can give.
