Strange Things Occuring.

Hi all.

We in the North -east of England are having a bit of bad weather at the mo...lots of snow and below zero temps.

As I have mentioned previously my aux heater was not working.....01414 - Combustion-Air Blower (V6)

16-00 - Signal Outside Specifications

...............I was stuck in traffic ...about 1 hr 30 mins for a 10 minute journey grrrrr

and the aux heater kicked in !!!! I'm not complainig...no.... but I havent cleared the code from the last time...it registered the fault the manditory 5 times.....confused.....Also I dont see any smoke coming out of the little exhaust ????Would it kick in if it wasnt able to burn the diesel and do its thing ???

I havent looked to see if Vag com brings anything up....

Deja vu? This post looks familiar.... :)

 

I take with a pinch of salt this alleged "stops working after 5 attempts", as mine tried five times one morning and I thought O bother... but a couple of days later....tick....tick..tick.tick..woosh,...houston,we have ignition....;)

 

I would think the only intelligence it has is a thermostat....

 

I dont see any smoke coming out of the little exhaust ????

They complain when they see it, now they complain when they don't..... :blink:

Put your hand on it, if it's hot, it's working!!

 

And if it stinks it's working!

Seatkid - it only locks out after getting 5 errors from the heater - ie, flame out, overheat, no glowplug, or no blower etc..

 

Paul - Maybe a good old jolt in the road has freed yours? Did you ever get round to stripping it fully down?
