(T) Climate control - cold air only on drivers side?

Stuart's right.

When you get an invoice from them for servicing, etc. it usually says that all parts are covered for xx period of time or xx miles.
This should apply to the warranty repair.

I got a postcard from the dealer to tell me that the part is in but now the bloody car's back at the bodyshop for them to try and finally get it all correct
By the time I get it back the dealers will probably have sent the bit back or broken it or lost it.

The dealer is 'checking the warranty situation with Fiat'
Hopefully they'll get back to me later today. I'm not holding my breath though.

Does anyone have a number for Fiat, incase things get difficult?

I agree. If the fault was reported during the warranty period and reappears shortly after, then it obviously wasn't fixed in the first place and you should still be covered.

If the dealer doesn't agree and if Fiat UK then don't agree, take it further.

Hey guys, since posting last Ive managed to come to terms with the random beeps and errors the car throws up in its daily hissy fits and strops however one obvious problem still remains.

The climate control has a mind of its own... whether set to individual or mono this occurs...

If driver side is set to cold air (or indeed mono mode is set to a low temp) then the passenger side gets roasting hot air, if i set the driver side or mono to a hot temp then the passenger side gets blasted with cold air...

Has anyone else had this problem or aware of what might cause it?

I haven't got climate control (which I'm thinking is a good thing ) but this has come up quite a few times if you'd care to use the Search function

Isn't this caused by a broken diverter flap inside?
Part is cheap, but a nightmare to dismantle system and replace it.

Someone else may know exactly which one it is.

Yep; that's what I was thinking of and as said has been covered quite well

Can anyone tell me the search terms you used to find this? When i tried i didnt get anything useful using "stilo climate control broken"

I hate searching this forum as it seems to return results with any of your search terms, rather than all of them. This makes the search quite useless unless someone can tell me how to change it.
I am sure someone will be along in a while who has recently had this problem and can tell you more.

Well; I've been searching for 20 minutes and still can't find it

You can get very close with
-------------------------------------------------------------
"glued flap" searching within both "Stilo" and "Stilo/Technical" sections

Set option for minimum 10 posts too.

I agree the search tool doesn't seem to work like it did in the past. Doubtless due to new Microsoft certification that Linux servers are at least 1000 times more reliable

This is the most infuriating "feature" of my MW !! On Saturday the left side was blowing hot whilst the right was chilling nicely (in mono mode). I haven't quite figured out where to kick it - yet. I managed to get both sides in sync by setting full blow and then selecting screen only for a few seconds and then floor only for a few seconds and then back to centre and floor. I have put the set through the "learn" function a zillion times but that only fixes it for a wee while.
Wish I had the manually controlled heater !
I have poked around and replaced the pollen filter and literally kicked the unit but quite frequently it does its own thing - grrrr.

My car is under warranty but it always behaves well when at the garage.

The "glued flap" your searching for argo is probaly from my old JTD, which was manual aircon but can affect the climate control as well, as john said the part is cheap but most of the dash has to come out to replace, which is why the dealer "glued" mine back only for it to break a couple of days later

My 51 plate Stilo 1.9 JTD has developed a fault with the heater.The passenger side is fine but the drivers side is cold.It makes no difference what setting i use it still blows cold.Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cant be certain but have you checked the Pollen Filter if fitted?

Its a bit odd cos that normally stops air blowing out hot or cold....

Does the Stilo have separate heater ducts to each side (climate control type thing)?

Yes the Stilo does have two zone climate control and no i haven't checked the pollen filter
