Driving other half's Panda today and my feet were cold.

Plenty of heat in the rest of the car, temp gauge was half way, so I don't think there's a thermostat issue.

With blower on full, heat on full, didn't appear to be getting anything much on driver's (LHD) feet, though I could see a plastic bag fluttering a bit in passenger footwell.

Blower on windscreen worked fine, upper vents ok, feet nothing much.

Setting to feet & upper gave nothing at all, sounded blocked.


Ideas?


She's normally the one to complain of cold feet, so I'm surprised.

Same journey in Alfa or Uno and my feet would be lovely and toasty after 45 minutes.


Car is a basic spec 1.2, 2004, no air con or other fancy stuff.

See my GUIDE could be a cable isnt moving a flap...

Thanks, I'll have a play with the different setting at lunch, then it looks like I might have found my job fo the weekend.

Can already hear the cries of "noooo, don't take my car apart".

Almost certainly the case.

Might also be worth checking that the cabin filter isn't blocked while your at it.

BASIC PANDA so may have no filter.

Mines not had one in 14 years... still blows at your feet ok

Ok, checked it, there is some air blowing to the driver's feet, just not as much as passenger side.

Thinking there might be something partially blocking it, probably a leaf.

Will have a more detailed look sometime.

Thanks

Correct my mistake

Just had a look at mine.

Blanking plate and no filter. Although part lists do include my model.

I'll pass that on to Mrs eBay, though I do recall threats being made about what would happen were I to purchase any more gadgets...


She has remarked that her feet were much warmer this morning driving the Uno.

When "her" car plays up, I tell her to either book it in to the dealer or if I can find my hammer, I'll look at it.

Not had to touch her car, ever!

Funnily enough, when something's not right, it becomes "my" car...

My car bashes it's wheels against the kerbs all by it's self!
