The other night if was cold as so i went to put the climate control on, turned up

the temp to 32 degress and waited for hot air to come out, waited, waited, nothing,

the only thing coming out was cold air. I was using the heater a couple of nights before

and it seemed to be working fine. Everything else work fine as far as i'm aware of,

has anyone incurred this problem before?

Run a diagnostic check on the climate control system. The Workshop manual explains how to. If you dont already have it search for it and d\l it. It sounds to me that the tap that controls flow of water to the heater is not opening. It could be stuck or just plain broken.

I don't think the ambient air temp does too much.... it just tells you how high the temp is *outside* the car, and maybe does a small correction..

Proper way to test it all is.. put key in ignition position..

within 10 seconds, hold down the "off" button for 5 seconds.. will go into testing mode..

Press "up" (the arrow) 5 times i think it is (or is it 4).. this goes into the temp sensor area (it will display the temperature of each sensor in turn - there is about 4). Press AMB to view the temp each one is reading in turn. If you've got an abnormal or -30deg in any of them the sensor is bung.

There are other tests you can do when in the testing mode, but I think think the above will be most useful in this situation

There is a sensor at the front of the car (ambient read out) and there is another to the right of your ashtray behind the 4 little slits, I think, but not sure, your A/C and heater works from the temp coming from there and heats or cools accordingly. Can anyone else confirm this? :bunny:

When mine was doing this, it was the actuator arm falling off the blender motor (I think that's what it's called - that's what we called them when I worked for Ford anyway). The bit that controls whether hot or cold air came out anyway. It was stuck in the "cold" position obviously. I didn't fix it, but my mechanic had a quick look under the dash for me when I was there for something else and he fixed it in half a minute with a circlip or the like.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
