The air vents in my seat Cordoba 1.4S (2003 ) blows out normal cool air if the rotary temperature knob is set to minimum position as you would expect. But if I turn the knob to get some warm air for a short while it gets super HOT..!!!
The knob loses control and vents will only blow Hot Air whatever be the knob position. If I pull over to the hard shoulder, turn the engine off for 5 seconds, turn the Temp knob to minimum and restart the engine, then things gets back to normal. But as you can imagine it is not an option which you can do while you are on a busy motorway.
Does anyone has any clue with regard to whats wrong with my climate control system?
Thanks,
Nash

Sounds like the resistor in the temperature control is gone bad, of course this only in manual temp. control. Had a car a good bunch of years ago (1988) with the same prob. they changed it, and that was the end of the problem.
