First cold morning in ages - so my heater dies....

[Mark_P]

Control panel seems to be working ok, when I turn the temperature up/down the fan adjusts to suit. The trouble is that I get naff-all heat until the temperature is at 'max' (and probably a bit on 26 degrees). Dead matrix?

Thanks,

Mark

Dodgy temp sensor thinking the inside of the car is warmer than it really is? Assuming it's climate control anyway.

Admittedly I have no idea about this stuff though lol, so that could be way off!

 

[Mark_P]

Actually, that might be a theory. Had noticed that the A/C seemed to be trying to come on more often. Would the ambient display not be off too in that situation?

is the ambient display the temp that shows on the centre console? If so, i believe thats using the temp sensor on the underside of your passenger wingmirror

Yeah ignore that comment. It'd be an internal sensor screwing things up. Anyone know how many a 182 has ?(1 would be the preferred answer)

Pretty sure its just the one behind the interior door light.

 

[sburrell93]

Yup, as above. Just the one up in where the courtesy light is.

Took the temp sensor out at lunchtime, seems to be working fine (measuring with a DVM). Mixer flap next?

Could someone confirm that a 182 doesn't have a fan for the climate control sensor, and it's just the sensor itself poking slightly out of a small hole in the light surround?

No fan I don't think. Have a look at this thread, it relates to hot air not cold but it could well be the same issue.

That is what mine has. They revised to this version later in production.
