Heater stuck on MAX!??

[geordiepaul]

On my 53 plate Leon Cupra, my heater has just suddenly stuck itself on max permanently. Even turning the temp down to MIN, it still blasts out hot air. Nearly boiled in the bag at lunch time.

Anyone got any idea what the problem is???

Thanks

So you're saying the heater is stock on full blower and what appears to be full heat?
Which vents is the air coming out of?

I presume the temp. and can speed can be adjusted but it makes no difference?

I can adjust the fan and the temp setting but it always blows out red hot air. Even on the lowest fan setting it's extremly hot...given that it's quite warm outside at the moment. It seems to be coming out all vents and make no difference whether I have the climate on or not.

Did you find the fault with this? My Ibiza is doing the same thing now

usually the temp flap motor needs unsticking/reseting or fixing

Any idea where this is on an Ibiza?

For the last month or so the fan's not been working at all, so all I've had has been air forced through due to the car moving forwards and air pressure.

Suddenly on the way home tonight it just went mad, onto max, although its varying the speed in cycles but totally ignoring any input via the controls, apart from putting it into AUTO does kick in the compressor and really cold air.

VAG-COM gives the same error as before when the motor wasn't even running, which looks like the control box has gone, I was wondering if disconnecting the battery could help it reset itself.

ahh ok, well i dont no if they use the same systems behind the electronic display, but my dads cordoba and my ibiza both wouldnt come off hot air for about 15 mins... this was sorted on the cordoba by spraying wd40 on a "flap" in the heating system.. v sorry for the vaugue discription but was sorted by a garage.... i ment to investigate this with my ibiza but sold it so was no need,,, again soz for the vaugue discription, but some1 may no what this flap is
