Hi all, I've decided that my heater temperature control flap thingy for the drivers side cliamte control is in need of replacement. It onlt blows warmto hot air, never cold.
I've taken off both of the side panels to have a look around (drivers side and passenger) and I can find none of the parts that I expected. Namely control wheels, motors linkages etc. I've had a look on e-learn and the procedure for looking at anything to do with the AC/heating system is to remove the dashboard entirely, as in, steering wheel off, remove both airbags, remove dashboard clocks, radio, heater controls, centre tunnel inc. gear shift and a whole other load of bits.
Anyone done any work on the heater control flap things, ideally with pictures. Before I'm told to go do a search, I have. I get a lot of 'you should see' and 'it may be that' and 'I've heard that' nobody who has actually done this job thenselves! I'm really looking for first hand instructions on what to do, very ideally with pictures!
Finally, the car was at FIAT having a alarm siren replaced just before I noticed this and I got it back without the two windscreen wiper bolt covers, as its a stoneacre dealer, I called to ask where they have gone and been told I'd be called back soon, (Still waiting, that was a week ago) Is it possible that the windscreen nut covers could have gotten into the control flap mechanism and be causing the problem?
Cheers
Andy
