How hot is hot? You say the right pipes are getting hot, but does the heater blow cold or just mildly warm? Have you removed your thermostat and checked to see if it is opening at the correct temperature?

hi i would remove and refit a new heater valve which situates on the bulk head which req 4 pipe clamps and 1 electrical plug.

airbag, with ignition off for 15 mins or disconect battery. disconect both seat pre tensioners under seat clean with wd40 and re connect

suspect temp sensor or cylinder head sensor water ingress
