heater prob

Post by PrAzZz » Thu Oct 21, 2010 8:35 am

Hi...

I dunno if this has somthing to do with the heavy whack my car took earlier in the week. But my heater seems to be blowing out warm air only, even when I have it turned down to cold on full.

Anyone know what might be up?

The cowling that holds the motor in and that contains the various flaps that move about to steer air over or around the heater matrix may have been damaged by the impact - the problem is that the motor weighs quite a lot and so when you come to a sudden stop, it exerts a large force on the cowling.

Cheers,
Robin
