heater not working and it's -3C

[Ciaran]

 dont know if the clip is broken or not but if it is how do i sort it?
any sensible way of reataching the rub strips on the side?

[Gambit]

if the lug is broken then it cant be replaced by an actual VAG part

i took mine down to a bodyshop and told him what i wanted, i found a few bodyshops wouldnt touch as they couldnt guarantee it being 100% perfect

but eventually i found one who'd do it, i told him just to get a piece of thick aluminum sheet

then just create a new lug like this

then rivet this to whats left of the existing bracket and put it back on

job done, cost me ?25, and doesnt look out of place at all

as for the sidestrips, they pop into holes on the door, you could put a little blob of silicone on the back of the stripe, this will stick them on and wont damage the paint work

Have you checked the fuse?

[Ciaran]

course i checked the fuse if it had gone their would be no heat anyway!

[Gambit]

you'll still get heat if the fuse is blown

the sliders determine the heat, the fan just determines the speed its blew threw the vents

[Ciaran]

sorted just not enough water in the system what a muppet i am!

Its always best to check things like heaters and heated rear windows before the cold spell starts so you can fix them without being frosty cold.

although saying that things never go wrong until its cold.

like Gambit said.

Take the fan out and give the bushes inside it a proper clean.

For a temp fix. Turn the fan on to full and give it a good tap. It should start to turn.

Mine did this. Check for a good seal around the fan cover (under the scuttle tray) Get it sealed up with silicone sealer if you need to
