No Heater In 1.9td

[bonkers]

My heater never blew out warm/hot air and now the blower has packed up!! Does anybody know what it may be?? Apparently only half a volt is going through heater but fuse is OK. Yes I'm a female so know nothing about cars except that the children and I wrap up to go in the car as we have to have windows open or we steam up!! Somebody pls help us!! Diagram of heating matrix would be usefull as I've been told it could be that. Thanks in advance. Oh, I understand the weather's going to get colder next day or two!!! :rolleyes:

Think you have 2 separate problems:

 

1. The blower motor. Don't bother checking voltage in the panel below the Radio.

Check voltage on the power feed to the blower motor (Brown connector that can be found if you remove the fabric cover under the glovebox (or plastic cover, if your car is not equipped with glovebox)).

The connector tends to melt, then you loose power supply to the motor.

If that's the case, bend the metal inner part of the connectr with a small screwdriver, to ensure good connection.

2. The inner heating radiator not functioning for some reason. Can happen for 3 main reasons:

 

a. The easiest to check (but the most expensive to fix) - Radiator is blown, and former owner cancelled it's operation. Take a look at the picture I sent you, and if pipes are not connected or cut there, forget about heating (dash board need to be removed, radiator to be replaced, lots of money).

 

b. The inner radiator is full of mud, dirt, etc. - so no water circulatlion going through (BTW, do you use specail coolant, or regular tap water? if water, change it to coolant (I prefer original Peugeot coolant, named "Technic"), else you're going to damage to engine in the long term. If so - the solution is opening the clip holding the dual pipe enters the radiator (near the car's firewall), take a garden hose, and wash it with high pressure water, until every bit of dirt is coming out. If you do that, make sure you bleed tohe cooling system of the engine, else you may damage the engine beause of heating.If that's the case, cost should be very low.

 

c. The clap that selects between hot and cold air (actually it changesthe air passage between blower and air exits) is disconnected (it's supposed to be conncted with a semi-rigid cable, wrapped with Plastic (not sure if it's Green or not). If it's connected properly, you should really hear a clap (do it with engine stalled) when you quickly turn the temp. button in the instrumant panel from warm to cold. If you hear that clap, leave it in peace. It's working.

 

Good luck.
