No heating

I have 1.4 SE and the heating has stopped working . The fans still work but with no heat would this be just a blown fuse or sign of bigger problem?. Any help much appreciated.

Is A/C working correctly? I mean if cooling isn't working too then it can be related with A/C engine.

If just fan is on, maybe your engine is not hot enough to warm you :) It mustn't be so though, after some minutes. May be a blown fuse too.

U'd better take it to a service, they will tell you the exact problem.

May seem obvious but have you checked your coolant? I had a leak two weeks into purchase and lost all the coolant so no a/c - heating. Didn't know until temp warning light came on and that took quite a while as engine is well fanned!

Check coolant mate. Easy to check on these cars. Ur car gets it's heat from the coolant, but you have to wait for the engine to get hot.

Thanks for the replies the coolant was a little low so topped it up and heating came on.Would not have thought so little loss in coolant would stop heating working must be very sensitive. Will have to keep an eye on the level incase there is leak. Booked into dealers as it is a lease car so they can check it out in case of any problems Also both front seat belts do not rewind properly so they can be fixed at the same.
Thanks for the help

If you didn't put much coolant in (inc antifreeze of course?) it may have been an airlock and if there's more it may drop again. Best to check it daily for a while.
