Heater always hot?

Got the 04 TF two days ago was driving around and getting headaches, turned out that although the heat knob is on low it really is high? Strange..

Anyone know what is broken that i need to fix? I can see a trip to the scrap yard / eBay imminent.

Will try this by CJJ on another site first and see how i get on.

That looks like the best place to start :yesnod:

Shouldn't a copy of this be in our 'how to' section?

I thought that "how to" was on here already, as i have read it when the same problem came up before ~ :nonod: :yesnod: :nonod: I will ask Clive or David to pick it up from .org (shudder) and put it here. I even looked in the cjj guides section and it aint there either :bust:

A blast from the past but my heater is still on full whack going to try and fix or change the valve if I fix it a how to might follow

Have you checked that the cable is actually moving the valve? sometimes the metal lever gets dislocated from the plastic part and although the metal lever is moving it's not actually moving the valve.
Easily fixed by relocating the lever.

I think it is doing so got a spare valve on the f if its not working

Adjusted the cable but no joy so going to put swap the valve

Alla full-on heater can really be is the levers not operating the valves correctly or the valve internals are shot. I would test the replacement valve carefully before fitting!!

So heres my adjustment. I moved the cable up to pull more of the cable and still...

Felling HOT HOT HOT

I know this won't help you, as judging from your photo the valve is in the 'closed' position but my heater got stuck on the last day of our Italy trip.

On investigation, I found that the cable sleeve had come out of the clip at the center console end. There is a small 2 cable clip that holds this end (even though there is only 1 cable).

Here's a pic showing the cable clip to the valve on the right and the end from the center console on the left:



And here is a close up of the left hand clip (sorry it's a bit fuzzy):



Just a bit more info that may help someone in the future
