Heater problems!!

[T88CAN]

I`ve noticed on the last couple of outings that the
heater on the Tuscan only appears to be working properly on the passenger side, with the selector on full hot the passenger side is very hot i.e if you were to touch the alloy cross member on the dash you would burn your hand, however if you touch the same crossmember on the drivers side it`s only warm as this is the first winter with the car i`ve only just noticed! I must say the heating and ventilation on my Chim was vastly superior in every respect unless the A/C is on in the Tuscan. Does any one have any suggestions/advice? Tony

I keep the A/C on in mine but sometimes it seems ages to get warm and others it's pretty reasonable. I've no idea why.

Mostly dosn't bother to work. To get it to blow hot I have to keep turning it on and off and keep sliding then heater control from hot to cold and then sometimes it might work!

If you are getting very hot air out of one side and not the other, it may be a heater pipe has come loose, worth a check

My car heats up both sides about the same and even clears the rear screen after a while!!

The pipes tend to fall off of the heater control unit, mine have been OK since I fixed them on with a bit of evo-stick.

Thanks for the help everyone, Is the unit the box which is velcroed in place under the passenger footwell? or is it some where else before i go pulling glued carpet out

Thats the one although I did not have to remove any carpet to re-fix the pipe that had come off.
