Hi Chaps,
My Alhambra Tdi SE (130) on a 04 plate has the auxiliary heater fitted to the near side but it never seems to work.
My local SEAT garage said it will not fire up until the temp drops to 4 deg...
It was minus 2 the other day and I drove the car for 20 mins taking the kids to school but after I stopped I had a look under the car and the heater had not even started, not smoke, heat nothing!!!
I have looked at the garage bills from the previous owner and the heater failed in the first year of ownership and was replaced under warranty.
I have seen other references to a control panel for the heater in the roof by the courtesey light (maybe an earlier model) This car is fitted with the climate control and I can adjust the temp at different levels front and rear. I have had the heat setting on HI front and rear and still no aux heater, all cabling and pipes look OK.
so my question is this -
Does anyone know of a simple test I can do to test the functionality of this heater?
or where the fuses, relays are?
Any help much appreciated
