In all honesty it's not a job I've done before I'm assuming access would be from the side in the passenger footwell ? possibly the actuator motor itself needs replacing and is stuck on cold or the linkage has come off if that's possible ?
this is all just guessing obviously Id probably start by looking at replacement parts on ebay just to look at pictures and try and work out where the connectors and actuators are that way? if I get a chance later I'll have a look on VIDA and see if a diagram or instructions can help out do you have access to VIDA because there's a really easy calibration routine you can run which might sort it out without any disassembly also others might come along with other ideas? is your heater control the older type with two dials hot and cold left and right, or the newer type where you set a temperature and it adjusts for you automatically because if so it could be thermistor related maybe lots of possibilities Last edited by stuart bowes; Dec 29th, 2023 at 12:14. |

There are a number of items that will cause heat not to come through to the cabin. Heater core may be blocked and easily checked by feeling the input/output hoses at bulkhead. Faulty CCM module, faulty thermistor in CCM, faulty external temperature sensor in door mirror, faulty synchronisation of blend motors. Before spending on parts best have the car plugged into Vida and check for error codes, synchronise blend motors and take it from there…

Hi
These pics may help .
Useful pic of the heater blower fixings , should you ever need to take it out. Heater Flap motors ( 1 on left , 3 on right ) . Can`t remember off the top of my head which is the blender but if you put your ear close up to the centre dash , switch on the ign. and turn the temp control knobs down to full cold and then to full hot you should hear the motor run. That will tell if the motor works at least but, as Stuart said the arms may have become detached. |

Verdict
So took the car to my local mechanic today (used him 15 years) his verdict was the heater matrix is blocked
There’s no water in the oil so head gasket is OK Radiator is warm top and bottom so thermostat is OK HAD NEW WATER PUMP 8,000 miles ago so that’s OK Temp gauge is at 12 O’Clock so not overheating that’s OK The CCM unit is all working and can hear the flaps working OK The pipes at the bulkhead one is hot one is cool which suggests matrix blocked That’s what I’m told |
