System Fault 136 - Heater Flap

[PinkPanther]

As above. Getting this on the screen since this morning and interior of car refuses to heat up. With heater on full and fans on, it's just blowing cold air into the cabin. Anyone know a quick fix or solution?

I'll probably give them a bell at HHC in the morning anyhow

I had this happen on my brand new T350 after a few hundered miles, and I had it fixed at the 1000 mile service.

It turned out to be a faulty heater matrix, which isn't a quick job! Dashboard had to come off, blah blah blah. At least you have air though, my fan system packed up completely. Luckily it was the heat of summer so i didn't require the fans.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hi

I had the same problem about 9 months ago. It needed a new heater flap motor fitting. There's a motor which moves the flap in the vent which I assume controls the flow/mix of hot and cold air. Mine would only blow cold air too. I seem to think it cost about £40 for the motor plus an hour or two to change it.

Apologies, i've just checked my 'Fault List', and it was "System Fault 40 - Heater Flap", so a slightly different fault code, but the same flap message.

Thanks for the replies guys,

Wrong time of year for it to pack in, but hey ho

I'll contact HHC in the morning and see if it's a job that can wait for the 6k service - just need a pair of driving gloves to tide me over

Cheers
