Heater Always On

[DTSNR32]

Hey guys,

Im having this problem with my 32 no matter when my car is on the heater pumps out hot air(even if the Climate control is off). Also when i change the temp on the CC it doesnt change the temp that is pumped out.

Do you guys think its just the Climate control or is it more to it.

Cheers,

Dave

one possible problem is that the heater tap isn't turning off, or it may be low or out of gas.

Yep, it sounds like a problem similar to mine. I think it's the "mixer door" which controls how much hot air gets pumped into the car. I haven't actually fixed my problem yet, but there are some threads on this forum about it.

Have a listen down underneath the steering wheel (may be different in a 32 though) and you may hear a kind of motor going back and forth quickly. If you get down into the footwell and look upwards you can actually see it moving back and forth.

You should be able to go onto complete cold by selecting the coldest temp, or complete hot by selecting the hottest temp. You should hear the mixer door stop moving at this point.

One thing to check is the temp sensor located just to the left of the steering wheel. Pull off the dash and make sure it's connected properly.

My sensor was fine and I even had a guy look at the mixer door but even though he got it to work at some stage, it's gone back to its old tricks. A real pain in winter time when it tries to mix a bit of heat in, but in summer it's on full cold anyway so it doesn't make a difference

Check in the DIY section for the climate control diagnostic.
