heater direction not working

[fzr phil]

hello there,
Wonder if anyone can help, or point me in right direction.
My heater works, just have lost direction to warm my poor legs.
Will do windscreen and front.
Obviously this is rather annoying in this freezing weather.
Incidently ,i fixed my noisy fan blower. In a few minutes yesterday. Been annyoying since i bought the car over 2 years ago!
(Talking about my cq by the way)
Thanks
Phil

Climate control? Manual or automatic A/C?
There are some flaps that lead the air, one of them is stuck somehow. Maybe a motor (actuator?) doesn't work..

no climate, manual a/c. (not working)

Thanks

There is a clap going to the foot vent. As the vaccum actuators are only for the electronic climate, there should be some bowden control cable moving the flag.
I don't know if you can lease the foot vent to 'feel' the flap, but maybe.. you should find the cable through the radio duct(?)

First of all take the "knob" off and check that it is not silpping. The knobs can crack at the back and insted of turning the shaft just slip.

(You can just pull the knob off with a pair of large pliers and some cardboard to protect the plastic).

Report back if it is the knob that is slipping or the mechanism that is stuck. A squirt of wd40 behind the knob won't hurt either.

If you reach under the dash you can feel the flaps and control cables too, if you want to investigate further.

Cheers,

Steve
