Fan works great. Engine runs great, not low on coolant. No odd sounds when I try to turn the heat on. Once in a blue moon the heater will work. The temperature gauge is always around 190 (little less) when I drive which is think is normal. Any ideas? No European mechanics near me, last place I went to they told me they weren’t sure what was wrong with it, mentioned it might be the blend doors and said take it to a dealer.

To determine this locate the 2 heater hoses where they go into the dash and with the engine at operating temp, feel both hoses for temp and see if they are both hot to the touch. If they are both hot enough that you can't continue to hold them, then you do likely have a blend door problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

That depends on what the actual problem is. If it is just a bad electric actuator it's not bad, less than an hour labor but if the door itself is broken, it's a BIG job. The whole dash would have to be removed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
