Its not a huge problem, but it is still rather annoying.

The heating in my car doesn't work.

I turn the dial to hot, all I get is cold air, and turning it to cold gives me cold as well (a bit obvious really).

Even after a long time, the air still blows out cold.

The dial to adjust fan speed is fine.

Its the time of year when I would really appreciate it to work.

The problem isn't that your heater doesn't work, rather the fact that you drive a Ford Fiesta.

Ford Fiesta, the Anti-Pussy.

possibly your car had an overheating problem in the past and someone removed the thermostat causing the cooling fan to blow continuously ?
if so ur car will take forever to warm up - just a thought hope it helps

And indeed, after the XR2 the Fiesta died a horrible, slow, ugly death.

Which model is it ?

I had a Mk4 van for work and the hot to cold dial is electronic.

Under the bonnet, infront of the windscreen, you'll see two pipes behind the rubber seal.

One pipe goes in and one comes out.
Where they go in has a wire that comes from the dial.

You need to take the pipes off, keep them up and you won't lose too much coolant.

Undo the four screws, and inside you'll see a coil with a rod and seals on it.

It's the rod that sticks.

Spray some oil on it, duckoil, WD40 or something similar, just to free it off.

If it's not that, make sure the wire has a voltage on it.
Or, put a screwdriver in the coil and make sure it pulls to the side (magnetizes).

It's easy and you won't mess it up, so don't be scared.

I like the new fiesta, its nice with the body kit.

An XR2 looks way better kitted up. Keep the rims stock too (see XR2 image I posted for stock rims, I love 'em).

Heater's broken. Get it fixed, or get a new car.

But seriously, Fiestas are uncool. My MOTHER drives one.

Fiesta ST = Good.

Better than Clio 197?, maybe, because clios = french cheese monkey car.


However, Focus ST > both.

I'd go with a VW Golf R32 personally but the Focus ST is a damn good car.

Bah.... go buy yourselves a twin cam corolla or Mk.2 escort
