Technical Bravo / Delta Heat in Footwell

[Nello]

I have a Lancia Delta which shares alot of components with the Bravo along with the Heater. Has anyone had any issues with the Heather not sending warm air to the Footwells when selected? All other Heater functions work fine (face vents / windscreen and temps all OK.

Yeah that was the first thing to stop functioning on my Bravo. It is most likely the actuators on the climate control have snapped and need replacing. Before stripping the car apart though, it might be worth removing the cabin filter and checking for blockages such as leaves (and in my case, feathers).

Will do - any idea how I can view / test the actuators?

There is a self test/calibration procedure you can do to verify if there is generally an issue. It is detailed here on post #4 ...

Basically, if it returns anything other than "0", then it likely needs some work doing to it.

Thanks mate will try it. Are they actuators visible / location?

I can't really speak for the accessibility of the actuators on the Delta, but with any luck, it should be the same procedure as the Bravo.

Thanks again mate - all looks a very similar pain!
