Hi!
Couple of weeks ago I found out my cabin heating system did not work properly. I couldnt get more than luke warm heat.
Doing some research, I found that cleaning the tiny air-inlet to the cabin temp sensor would be first stop. In this operation, I managed to damage the thermistor, like many before me have done. I then went on with the "quick-fix" to replace the thermistor. But, unfortunately this did not help either. So, I decided I would replace the heater core and flush the coolant system. But, once again nothing helped. Finally, I drove the car to Bilia, made them do a diagnosis, replaced my cabin filter, read the engine temp and do a calibration of the flaps of the heatingsystem. Nothing better came out of this visit.
What would be next in this matter? Everything else seems to work fine. AC, Parking heater works fine, engine temp OK.
This is what I have done so far;
- Replaced heater core + flushed coolant system
- Replaced Cabin filter
- Replaced thermistor in interior temp sensor
I´m thinking on getting my hands on a used CCM panel, but there are so many different experiences with this. Is it even possible to make a swap? These panels comes in a "million" different versions, but many with the same part no. The only difference I can se is the number of buttons, or the button order.
Anyone?
