Ford KA Heater
Hi
I have a 2004 KA. it was my daughters and she said she had been having heater issues. When we got it off her I decided to fix it as it was now my run around. I changed the heater valve and all worked well for a week or so, now it is blowing excessively hot air, not warm stuff, the sort you get from an element heater that burns your hand if you get it close enough. It doesn't seem to change with the thermostat either, occasionally itll blow cool air. not often.
Any ideas, the main issue is the temperature of this air, hotter than anything I have ever felt in a car.

Did you use a genuine Ford part
(Could be a faulty valve - even if it was a genuine ne)0 -
I thought that but need to check any other options before complaining about the part, and I hope its not that it was a nightmare to fit as im not blessed with the right tools!!0

My 52 plate was like that. Always get a new genuine one.
