Cabin Heater

[XR06T]

I know ninka did a little write up on how to get the dash out, when he did a dual zone CC conversion on his car. perhaps try searching through his threads.

you may be able to clear a few things up for us then brute. if I can hear the motor going and temp doesn't change, that'd be the mixer shaft hey?

but no sound at all if probably a knackered him right?

cheers!

It was suggested that I 'burp' the system. Meaning I drain the system again and refill with the motor on and the heater and fan on full, in order to open the heater hoses etc...

In a single zone heating system the core is always open so the above doesn't apply in this case.

Guys I need some help

I have an 03 xr6T, about 110 kays. I recently serviced it doing an oil change, oil filter, air filter, coolant flush and refill.

Only mods are a 10 psi stage 1 custom tune, I always run the 8 psi stage 2 though.

After the service, the heater stopped working!! The fan works fine, A/C is fine everything really is perfect accept it will not blow warm air.

Have just tried it this afternoon, no success.

Guys I could really use your expertise and advice on this one.

Thanks

Yeah mate I would check your heater core

if this problem is so common, I would be asking Ford to foot the bill. Obviously the heating mechanism is not of merchantible quality. Heaters should last much longer then 4 or 5 years, it's not like they have such a hard job to do.

you have a good point but it was so hard to deal with them when the car was under warranty, I really dont want to have to go back there!

I'd actually rather attempt to take dash out with no beers than go down there!!
