Heater stops after a while

Cna1t said:

Hi, I have a 2007 2.0tdi stylance and the climate control heats the car up when cold the fan works through the vents etc but when I've been driving for a while I have to turn the heat right up and the air stops coming out of the vents. Even if you turn the fan up the fan just makes a noise but only a trickle of air comes out the vents

Any ideas guys and gals

Have you tried running a scan on you Air-Con or just on the whole car to see if theres any faults related to the aircon?

i had a similar issue on my old leon (exactly same model and year as yours) where the motor on the drivers side gave up and only blew hot air when it wanted to, the it shut the air duct down.. and im sitting there with outside temperature air or no air at all...

not an easy fix if its the same motor thats defect though.. theres a metal bracket running down in front of it from under the steering wheel

Try to do a scan and post result here if you find any problem.. if you dont have access to vcds you could try to find one in your area or drive down to a Seat shop or other and make them do a sweep of the car and ask them to give you the out put, some dealers do it fairly cheap or with no charge at all, takes 5 min to run a scan

Be interesting to know if you sort this. Mine is actually in garage with same issue. It's only after driving for about an hour or so the blowers just seem to die but once it has sat for a while they are fine.

Mine has been narrowed down to the resistor. Cleared all the codes and going to go a long run somewhere cause mine only stops after like an hour and a half of driving so will see if it continues to do it then check the codes again

I don't think specifically but he said a few codes are linked to the resistor. According to seat the resistor and the blower are one while unit which is quite expensive but gsf have it listed seperate and the resistor is only £30

It's a website to get parts from. Bit like eurocarparts
