I got no blow :(

[ThomasTurbo]

Right being new to a "modern" Clio, is the blow from the climate control really this week ? I have only had the car a few days but i would have thought it should actually feel like its blowing out hot air on full fan.

A guy on here, by the name if Alex W, recently repaired a car where the motor was worried up backwards and the vents were sucking in air not blowing it out! Lol

Basics though, check all the flimsy heater pipes are connected properly, (dash top off, fairly straightforward job) check the pollen filter isn't clogged up with crap (most never get changed!) and go from there.

I have had a look around the engine bay no pipes lose or broken. Is the fan fused and on its own circuit ? Sorry for all the questions

What were you doing in the engine bay?? I mean the pipes that connect to the vents on the dash!

Yer i have checked all inlets and outlets on it I'm worried it might be the control unit now do they go wrong ?

If it's a non cup, it may be the heater resistor.
When it fails it either stops completely or runs flat out regardless of the settings on the climate panel.
There's a test where you can bridge the unit out so it runs flat out, try a search on here.
Several people on eBay do an exchange repair for about £30.

Yay ! its all sorted. I replaced the heater resistor and its back up and running. Thanks for everyones help
