Jag X350 Heater Flaps
Discussion
Since I had a thermostat and housing replaced on mgy 2004 XJ8, the heater has been stone cold, both sides. I struggled through winter. Got the car through the MOT today (one advisory on slight play on a wheel bearing).
Auxilary pump is fine, and water is circulating through the matrix, so the conclusion is a heater flap is stuck. Was advised this is a dashboard out job.
I read that the X-Type has a flap calibration procedure. Does the X350 have this. If so, it might be worth a shot.
Some sources say the motors are reachable with getting the dash out. But it looks complex. How hard is it to remove the dash solo?
