Grande Punto Heater works for first 5 minutes then cuts out.

[ccpsmh]

Hello I am new to the forum. I have a 58 plate grand punto. My heater has stopped working and unable to demist the screen.
Also when driving on the motorway the abs and hill start message and lights came up. Telling me to look in handbook. Is this a costly repair?

Hi (who ?), welcome on board !

Please be more precise: heater OR heater blower ?
Hill/ABS light: permanent or intermittent ?

BRs, Bernie

IIRC Grande and Corsa D are twins. Early Corsa D heater blowers were troublesome, kept seizing. We had these with BSM, had many blowers replaced in warranty. If Grande uses same blower, likely to be same issue. For Corsa, access was easy once glovebox removed.

ABS issue likely to be wheel sensor. Check all wiring at wheels as a first check.
