Heating Question

[Mikef]

My Galaxy started doing odd things this morning....

 

I have an LX spec, so I have air con but no climate control. I didn't have the air con switched on, just the 'normal' blower.

 

I could not get the beastie to blow cool air. The temp control was turned all the way around to the blue section, but was blowing warm air (v warm air).

 

Anyone else ever have this? I know there are a lot of air con problems, and I religously use my air con for at least an hour a month after reading the notes around this forum.

 

Is it just me?

 

cheers

If the control was turned to blue ( cold ) then you would expect cold air, unless a cable has slipped preventing it from going right back ? There may be on a Galaxy, a heater valve that controls the water to the heater matrix. The valve could be stuck. I would imagine if that was the problem the valve would have to be replaced. Old type Saab 900`s often had this fault. I`ve changed a few on them. You need very long arms, and have to be double jointed to do them !

Something's not right - jammed/broken cable adjuster? What happens if you switch the aircon on then also adjust the temperature dial? Can you then get the air temp to vary?

On the way home last night I put the aircon on, turned to cold. It started producing cool air, so I let that run for 5 minutes and turned it off. After that, the blower started producing cool air again.

 

Can't decide whether to ignore it as a temporary glitch or have it looked at. I'll see how it goes over the next week or so.

 

cheers all
