heater ecu where / how much?

[goon1001]

Mine has melted a pin and while it works want to change for a new one as the heater only blows for a while at its speed then just goes back to a slow speed, have to press the heater fan button off then back off and it will blow for a while longer. Or is this how it works, I dont think so?

Sounds like your heater control unit.........

Mine went a few months ago, took it to TVR Barnet, apparently no parts but it was sent off and reconditioned.....about £100 inc VAT.

Reminds me I must get up there and get it fitted!!!

you mean the heater ecu or is there another unit thats part of the heating system?

Im no expert by any means but what you describe happened to mine until it eventually stopped working...

The control unit is a small box about 6" by 6" and was mounted above the passenger footwell. My pin had melted also.....

I think the only other thing you can check is the fuse but if its working, but just not properly then Id say its the heater control unit.

I know the Cerbera ones are about £230 new, not sure about the Tuscan ones.

sounds like the same thing, will keep my eye out for a second hand one then. cheers for the info

No probs,

Give the TVR centre a call, its about £80 plus VAT and the turn around was a week or so. To be honest I thought that was a bit steep but when I found out the price of a new Cerbera one, and assume a Tuscan would be similar cost its not too bad!

Good luck.
