Hi, i have a 2001 Y reg elegance tdi octavia, I believe this to be the MK1??

A couple mof days ago, my heating just stopped working. Imean litteraly the day before it was on, and the day after it had stopped working. I have had a look around forums, and used google but as of yet no answer.

So im here to ask you guys, is there a common fault which could explain this? Or is it likely something more sinister has happened.

I have tried to find a search button on this forum, but failed to which is likely me not looking the in the right place.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated, even if you could push me in the direction of a wiring diagram of the heating system, or a how to guide or something that could give me some ideas.

Kind regards

Andrew

Does the fan still operate? Mine (fan)failed a replacement switch, you know the turny dials was needed. Sourced 2nd hand one from a Golf at the breakers.

A facelift mk1 yes.

Since it's an Elegance, I presume it's got the pushbutton "Climatronic" climate control system, and not a plain heater like Loskie describes?

If so, then do you have a normal facia display (current fan speed, ambiant external and selected internal temperature, selected mode)?

If you do, then try semi-randomly poking at the various buttons.

Otherwise, get the Climatronic fault codes read. Check the VAG-Com users forum for someone near you who'll do it for free, or a couple of beer tokens.

yes sorry mine is a mk1 SLX Tdi Jan 1999 air con but not climatic.

The fan still operates, as its blowing the cold air out :-( which in the weather today is just awfull.

Yes mine does seem to have the panel your describing, I will try the systimatic poking of the buttons. If that doesn result in some warm air, is there a DIY way of reading diagnostics or am i to take it to skoda?

Thanks again andrew

It might well be stuck blender flaps or flap actuators, in which case the poking might get them moving again.
