All,

Cleared the fault codes on the aux heater 5x 01414 they are slowly starting to return though, have googled the code and checked the forum but dont get a definative on what the problem is apart from something to do with the fan if I remember correctly could this be fixed I had no flame out errors..The heater underneath now gets warm however the exhaust does not. run on pump replaced and working. Slowly starting to make progress but keep hitting hurdles all the way..

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Cheers all

 

The heater will get warm as the run on pump is pushing the warm engine water round the heater.

Mine feels warmish after the engine has been running but the heater has not been running.

Not had the 01414 error so cannot help but does it not give any other info in vagcom along with the error code.

Hi Jimbo

I think you have established that someone has been playing about with your heater, I wonder what other surprises are in store.

It may just be the fan is stuck/corroded in the housing to check this you will have to drop the heater down now to remove the smaller plastic cover this will reveal the plastic fan, see if it spins freely and is not fouling the plastic cover.

If it looks OK clear faults and get someone to start car while you observe fan it should spin up seconds after starting engine assuming outside air temp is below 10 deg c if it still don't work you will need to remove the control unit/end cover to gain access to the fan motor.

 

You wont get any flame out errors until the heater has fired up and then stopped unexpectedly.

Bill,

The only thing it says is 5 faults found

01414 combustion air blower (v6) 36-00 - open circuit I had read that you can use vag com to start the fan but I havnt had much luck with this, cleared the faults but they are slowly coming back

also have picked up some others

 

01135 interior monitoring sensors 35-10 intermittent

01189 front air distribution flap motor (v145)009 open to short or ground

and one about fuse 30 cant remember the code

 

Chris,

When I get a spare moment will drop it down and have a look/clean up think thats the way forward with a glow plug change once down aswell

even thought the run on pump is changed and flowing hot water around the car is it still normal for the temp guage on the dash to fluctuate when the blowers are on?

 

Mant thanks

Hi Jim

Until boosters running gauge will drop when fans switched on as engine cant produce enough heat, there is another multi plug inside the heater which may be the problem with open circuit or the motor may be knackered if you need a motor let me know I have some s/hand bits here.

Be prepared for the small torx headed bolts to be tight the heads round off very easily, give them a good soaking in penetrating oil first.

None of the other codes will stop booster running, as you don't have a glow plug error it may be OK but check it out when it's out.

If you have the free vagcom then I dont think you can start the fan on the aux heater with it.

The fan will try to run as soon as the heater gets the signal to run.

Look on ebay as people have heater parts for sale.

 

01135 interior monitoring sensors 35-10 intermittent is for the alarm sensors but dont know the other.

Best to just sort out one thing at a time.

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes

Is where i found out what some of the fault codes are.

 

Like people say just make a note of the codes and then clear them.

Sometimes it is just a glitch and the wont come back.

01189 Air distribution flap is located on the front main heater unit and controls the direction of the air to the screen, footwells, and face vents, but as bill said don't worry with that yet.

Cleared all codes went for a long drive came home and re scanned codes for aux heater

5x01414 all there again will drop heater have a look and clean up inside with a plug change when it gets warmer

01135 interior monitoring sensors intermattant my guess part of the alarm will investigate with the wiring as Im sure I have read the sensors are in the pillars bit wiring in the lights

 

but most curious about 00926 terminal 30 002 lower limit exceeded have not got a clue here have been having some starting issues these last few days could this be related and something I could pass on to the dealer for rectification on the warranty

Posted

Terminal 30 is Bosch speak for "Line from battery positive terminal (direct)" or the Positive for everyone else :)

 

If its at lower level exceeded then you have a flat or extreamly low battery which would also account for your starting problems.

Mirez

The electrical guru, thank you for posting up have been and had a look at the battery I believe its a self fill up jobby (not maintenance free) so could be worth my while checking levels.. Changed the glow plugs earlier on today 2 were gone and the other 2 on there last legs, as a frost has formed on the car allready will check starting in the morning..

Cheers for shedding some light on that code.

Have been un-able to log into forum lately,

car was struggling to start and had an audiable bing each time I started the gal first start of the day..

 

Mirez absolutely spot on took car down to kwik fit and got them to run a battery and charging check..alternator etc was fine but the Battery was knackered and only running at 44% and un-servicable. Got a bosch silver one (not from kwik fit) and can tell the power difference straight away no more cranking etc and less smoke at start (is that poss?).. Also the hesitancy that I had before seems to have gone.

 

Thanks again all

Im glad I dont live in your street :) Dosing pump is the small solenoid type pump that supplies the diesel to the booster heater, as you said the heater is not working then it wont be that.

 

Do you have climatronic or manual heating controls?

 

Some leads come with a software disc which has the 409.1 version but the latest free software is VCDS lite from Ross Tech you can use either

 

usefull links;

http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/download/index.html

Is this the right cable for a Mk III as I am having problems starting mine in the cold weather it takes about 30-40 attempts (cranking but not firing) lots of grey smoke....

when it finally starts, it will keep starting first time.....untill it is left for a good 12 hours then same problem....

I have recently had it serviced and changed battery and glow plugs......very frustrated

hoping buying a VAGcable will help identify the problem

many thanks
