I'm not very good with cars and need some help, I've had my 1994 106 for 5 months now and the heaters have never worked, only blowing cold air ?? also it drinks oil like nobody's business and now it has started to make a strange noise like a wheezing whilst driving and when I break it sounds like there's water sloshing around on the passenger side ?? what on earth is going on with my car ???

To start, the heaters problem will be the Thermostat not a big or expensive job, get someone to check the heater pipes within the Engine bay to see if the are hot, also I should have asked sooner, have you water in the system? The Sloshing sound could be water trapped in the Bulkhead due to the water trapped blocked with leaves, If you look under the bonnet in the direction of the passenger side & below the windscreen there is a recess (Well) have a look to see if that is clear of leaves, The oil, When did the car haver it's last service? This wants to be done first including the filters (ALL) Get the system flushed out with flushing oil, the reason if that car has not had regular servicing there will be a lot of sludge within the iol ways, You say It drinks oil! How much in a month? If the car blue smokes on a regular basis Get rid of it, the piston rings are worn ( Very Costly Job).

Thanks for your answers, I'm not entirely sure when the car last had a service the MOT was done in October though. I have noticed it does smoke from time to time but I put that down to having a large exhaust on there, as for the amount of oil it uses; between Xmas Eve and beginning of March it used 5 litres and needed more then as it was almost empty. :(( I'm gutted I love the car but I only paid �380 for it so if the work is going to cost more it doesnt seem worth keeping it ??
Hi, If the car hads used that amount of oil since Exmas "Get Rid" before it the engine packs up.
Might be a head gasket. Have you checked the coolant level (when cold!) It might be low, which causes the sloshing sound and lack of heater. Have a look to see if it looks oily as well. Does the oil filler cap have signs of mayo on it?
