Heating control unit?

Featured Replies

So, had the Fabia in the garage today to try and find out why my heaters won't blow hot...they reckon it's the heater control unit (some electrical component). The engine warms up and the cooling system keeps that right, so I know the heater matrix etc is good. The blowers work on level 1-4, and the selector switches between the vents fine...so does that sound right to you guys?

They've given me the number for a recommended auto electrician, so if it is that, will it be a big (and more importantly expensive) job? If he has the dash out to sort that stuff, is it worth getting him to check out my dash pod too, as the needles for the speedo and rev counter won't illuminate either.

Cheers for the help guys...I hate being a car mong!

Knackered flap motor!

Flap motor is the most likely, but heater control panel does sometimes go faulty. There's also a cabin temperature sensor mounted on the heater control unit, and they sometimes need a clean.
