Hi guys, car is a 2012 1.0 ecoboost, it hasn't got climate control

Last few weeks ive noticed im only getting barely warm air coming from the vents after the cars been running for a while. Its been getting colder and colder every time I take the car out. This morning the car was completely frozen over and I was only getting freezing air out even after 20mins of driving.

Any ideas what It could be?
done some searching and it seems it could either be blocked, or maybe a dodgy thermostat?

any help is appreciated

cheers

thanks for the replies guys, I checked the coolant header tank and it was in fact, basically empty, I swear it was at the correct levels a month ago.

I now have heat! biggrin

You need to get where the water has gone checked asap. Chances are it'll be the timing cover or degas hose, but I work for Ford and can tell you that if a 1.0 Ecoboost overheats, it's scrap within 20 seconds (not an exaggeration).
Yeah cheers, its booked in for an MOT and service next week at ford specialist anyway so hopefully they'll find out whats wrong. Ive had the car 3 years now. Last summer the turbo had to be replaced at a nice £1200 bill, it didn't have any power at all. Weeks after getting that replaced I had the same symptoms but turns out it was the brake vacuum pump that was shot. Its never ending with this car.
