Ford Fiesta car heating not working, any ideas please?

Glee

I've got the same problem absolutely no heating in a wee 1997 Fiesta Diesel. so I'm going to get the valve but I fancy doing the job myself...
Does anyone know where I can pick up a Haynes manual for cheap...?

You can photocopy the page at the Library

It's simple, you remove the plastic at the back of the engine bay, using mole grips release the pipes from either side of the heater valve, place new valve in place of old valve and reconnect the pipes. Refit the plastic covers.

You'll need some coolant as you will lose some and of course do it with a cold engine.

Might just pay the Library a wee visit tomorrow for the first time in many a year...
I actually wouldn't mind replacing all the coolant so I might drain the lot save me hassle with pipe clamps...

Thanks for the help

No need to clamp anything it won't spill much, but it's a good time to do the often neglected coolant change

Can anyone tell me where to locate the heater control valve on a 05 plate fiesta 1.4tdci van. My heater comes on for the first 10 minute in the morning and then instantly turns cold. :mad: Occasionally it comes back on. I dont adjust the control, just sit there and hope for some heat, especially the last couple of weeks!! Brrrrrrrr

Hi all from Sarajevo,

My Fiesta is heating constantly. Even if I turn on AC on COLD position.

Advise please.

AC or heater dial?

It'll be that darn heater valve - retails at around £26.44 plus VAT from Fords.

Correction - £26.55 plus VAT
