    Hello Folks

    Need some clues or pointers for my mates 2000 Ford Fiesta

    In the past few days , when he turns the hot/cold air settings down to cold ,it continues to blow hot air out through the vents..

    Any ideas on what could be wrong ,no matter what low setting he puts it to all he gets is warm air coming out of it

    Cheers

    The heater control valve is probably knackered - it's a common fault on these. I've heard of people getting them to work again by just cleaning them out but I don't know how to go about doing that.

    €45 for a new one. Easy enough to change yourself (it's explained pretty well in the Haynes manual). It's on top of the bulkhead - looks like this (with two hoses connected at each end and a wire on the side).

    Thanks a lot mate for the good advice, will pass on to him and hopefully get it sorted.
