[DISCO GSI]

its winter, its freezing and my bloody heater has packed in on my gsi!

it only works on the trird setting "badly i might add" can someone tell me what how to sort it and how much of a job it will be?

ps. even on the third setting its not that loud or hot!

[Aragorn]

new blower motor will sort the levels of blow

as for it not being hot thats another problem entrirely

[MattNova]

yeah, mine did the same last year, turned out to be a knackered bearing, got a new motor from the scrappy for ?8, fitted it myself (can be a bit of an arse) now its fine :D

[orange_andy]

it might just be the heater cable! if it blows cold air but not warm its prob that. hope that helps.

He could have a point. My heater was blowing cold air last o matter what setting i turned the dial too. It turned out that the cable was catching behind the dash. If you look behind the centre console you should see the cable. With the heaters switched on and set to hot air, try pushing the cable up slightly and see if that solves it.

Mehh, who needs heaters anyways :wink: :lol:

I would also start by checking the actual connection from the temp control.

The heater not being hot, is usually a heater matrix problem.

what does the heater-system consist of really?...

Isn't it just a valve-controller that keeps sending the cool water from the engine thru a pipe that goes into the cabine?

You can adjust the position of this controller by switching it up/down at the heater located down under the dash...

I did this recently because the wire had snapped, so now the heater in my nova is in "winter-position" :wink:

You might even be able to get some heat in the cabine if the fan doesn't work as long as you adjust the heater in right position...

what else might break down in a heater-system?

[DISCO GSI]

i never have it blowing cold air anyway as its never that hot and if it is warm i just open the windows! all i want is it to blow hot and hard! a bit like i like my birds! i have a new blower on the way so i will try and get it changed next weekend!

lol not me, i shall be ripping mine out soon

[dunova]

As said-Broken cable?
Air lock in coolant system?
Stuck thermostat?
Fecked heater matrix?

[Aragorn]

youve already said the fan doesnt run in positions 1 and 2 which means the resistor pack is dead, so u need to replace the fan assembly

once uve done that and get it blowing correctly THEN look at the cable linkage etc on the left hand side of the heaterbox and adjust/replace it as neccesary
