Heater problem

**mark_eire** · Sunday 11th January 2009, 19:46

I have a bit of a problem with the heater on my R. Luckily the heat is still coming out when it's turned up full but if I turn it back to 25 or even anywhere below max it just lets out freezing cold air! Anybody any idea what's wrong?

not the weather for no heating dude......hope you get it sorted!

If you have an R then you have climate control, in which case you'd be better getting the codes read first.

Am not 100% sure but would flushing the engine and intercooler help if there is a build up of crud in there im only going off a neighbour who had this problem in her 4x4 and i flushed the system out and now she has heat again

I'll give it a try! I have heat when the knob is turned up full but if I turn it down even a fraction it gets freezing! I'm either melting or freezing in it, there's no in between!!

could be a faulty internal cabin temperature sensor of which the climate control runs off.

If he is getting heat then he has flow through the heater matrix.
Also how would flushing the intercooler have anything to do with getting flow through the cooling system?, please enlighten me!

Ignore - was prob a typo - expect badger meant heat exchanger i.e. heater matrix. That would make sense. No one is perfect :>)

I'd agree with 850twr, the cabin temp sensors get covered in dust and give wrong info.
