Hi All,
I recently bought a 2012 Twinair with a known issue that the heater only blows cold.
So far I have found the following...
Air con works fine
Heater matrix seems to be fine, no leaks and both feed and return pipes are warm
The cabin filter was very dirty and had leaf debris in it
The actuator up inside the passenger footwell isn't working as it is just clicking and the controls to change the direction of the heat have no effect
I only get cold air on the screen at the moment. I have removed the actuator and can manually move the large cog to change the direction of the air flow, I have also removed the cabin filter and replaced the cover to see if this made a difference to the heat, it didn't.
I have ordered a new actuator and filter so my questions are...
Does the actuator control the blend flap or just the flap to direct the heat?
Before I go down the dreaded dash out and replace the whole lot route, is there any way of checking if it is the heater blend flap or a way of manually moving the blend flap?
Many thanks
Shaun
