WHY ARE MY CAR HEATERS NOT WORKING?! *BLOWING COLD AIR*

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

So as winter finally starts settling in, the clocks have gone back and the temperature in the morning has starting dipping into the minus figures.... and my heaters stop working. Anyway, hopefully this will give you an idea what to look out for if this happens to you, and it may get you one step closer to fixing it!

    Thank you very much for the excellent video, I would have one question, I have the opposite problem, the heat goes fine, but when I turn on the cooling, the air does not go out of the fan, it can be heard that it circulates somewhere, but does not come out. Do you think the repair procedure is the same as in this video? Thank you very much for your reply.

    Hi there, Hope you can answer this for me as I also need to get a similar issue sorted on my A6. You stated that when you set the heater to high (HI) it overrides the sensor. My question is : before you started working on this were you able to get hot air from the vents when you set the passenger side to HI? Appreciate any feed back regarding this. Thanks for the video:)

    I have a BMW 3 series E92 and it blows cold air to the driver's side... Thought it may be the flap door stuck somewhere. Dissasembled half of the interior and didn't find anything. I reckon now it may be a sensor as well

    Would this issue cause the coolant to become over pressured? Left side of the heating is cold and right side is warm. I end up losing all my coolant after 10minutes of driving

    have you not thought about fitting auto lights to your car? i have an audi a3 8p without auto lights and i read a lot of forums and the main solution was having to replace the windshield as that’s where the rain sensor is. however i stumbled across someone who created a solution for this with a simple connector with a sensor at the end.
