Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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

Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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"

Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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.

Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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

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

Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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.

Re: Stilo Climate Control Posessed By Satan!

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 :bang:

Stilo Heater

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.

Re: Stilo Heater

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

Re: Stilo Heater

I'd be interested in the outcome of this too, I have exactly the same problem with the climate control on my Stilo JTD. Passenger side works perfectly but the driver's side will only blow cold.

If it were the pollen filter, it would affect both sides equally so I don't think that can be the cause.

I suspect it's going to be something to do with a flap or actuator motor within the heater casing but it doesn't bother me enough yet to start pulling that apart.

Re: Stilo Heater

Hi All
I have had this problem for some time now I found if you keep fiddling it will eventually start working.
The best way I found so far is to set to mono and run the temp to cold then back to hot switch off engine restart do the same again, bit of a pain but mine seems to work O.k. most of the time now.
Good luck.
P.S
I also noticed that the driver’s side foot well vent actually diverts the air up under the dash, so I cut the fins out works o.k. now.

Re: Stilo Heater

I think it's called the tempreature control flap which will be your problem.

It's a b**tard to fix as you have to take most of the dash out to replace it, dealer tried fixing it me by gluing it on for £96 broke again after about 1 week.

Just done a merge on this - as it come up before.

Grrrrr seems like my poor stilo is falling apart slowly lately. Now that its getting cold here and i start using the heat i have the same problem the drivers side is cold and the passengers is fine. i tried to do the relearning process but doesnt really work only if i turn off the car it fixes for a bit. Also noticed that last year i would put the heat to 20-22 and got decent heat not too much now to get the same mild heat i have to put it to 26. Very weird stuff.

Well, Stilatos. Mine has now the same problem. Cold air isn't coming at all. The clutch engages, but the only way of getting outside temp (which now is pretty low) is to set it to "lo". No aircon though, despite the snowflake is on. This is a problem as the car fogs down when all wet and damp people enter the car.

The problem has occured a couple of times earlier, but then it has only needed a restart. Now it is permanent. Where is this flap everyone is talking about? We have lefthand driven cars so it might be easier for us to access the area, but I really haven't done more in that console than refitting the pollen filter - which is a doodle, as there are no obstaclin' pedals.

Or is it an electrical issue with this flap? The fan works like hell, so the fault is most likey after the fan.

Can someone point us in the right direction? I will not dismantle any dash!

Hi!

I'm having this problem too... can someone point me the motor? I've recently replaced one of the motors in the left side footwell that diverts the air to the windshield, front, and feet and I'm guessing it's one of those other 2 motors close to it... Do you know which one? Or is it in another place?

Thank you very much!

Hey it looks like i have the same problem too,i took the car to my local garage for a diagnostic and it came up- as windscreen flap motor- can anyone tell me exactly where this is?
I presume its in the fan box somewhere?

I've not so long ago taken my dash to bits to get to grips with this very problem. In my case it was the drivers side that stuck.

You can get to the motors by removing the glovebox, and the bits surrounding the radio area. I had to deal with the drivers side, so this may be alittle different. One, or two motors control air direction and are mounted together on a sliver coloured plate, the one that controls temperature is mounted sperately. The motors can alll be removed by undoing the correct screws.

Take all the covers off, then play with the AC controls. You should see clearly a change in the position of the motor for temperature control as it is attached to a load of white plastic arms and stuff. Turn the temp up and the motor moves one way in lumpy little jerks, and down goes the other way.

On my car it turned out that the issue with temperature control wasn't an issue with the motor or the control arms, but the electronic controls. The flaps moved, the motors worked, just the electronics randomly set full hot, when I had requested full cold and AC. After taking it all to bits and checking it all, I decided to live with it. I got a much better performance when I regassed the AC. This kind of fixed the issue as I didn;t get extreme hot air, just tepid blown in my face!

I dont have climate control in my stilo but the issue i have is the fan is turned up full and noisy but very little air comes out the vents.
