Air that aint hot

[rickprice]

Anybody manage to get cool air out of their vents in summer? Mine dish out permanently warm-hot air.

The wire behind the dash works well and has a full range of motion.

Any clever ideas to stop me boiling?

Cheers,

Same with mine, even when the fans are turned off. I find taking the roof off can solve this problem though.

I had this for 4 years and have only now solved the problem, (pretty much!).

Pull away the carpet in the passenger footwell and look up, you will see the heater valve.
Mine didn't fully turn off, always allowing hot water to bleed through.

This valve is available throughout all the usual sources, (fleabay) and a 10 minute job to change!

Mine does the same thing. The only time I get cool air is in the winter. Leven took a look at it at the time and checked the heater valve which was fine.
