As if it wasnt cold enough!

Jumped in the car this morning and stuck the heating on to defrost the window, the climate control system started ticking and the display faded then the heating died. Nothing on any settings.

Assume it a relay. Anyone know which one its is or even better anyone got one?

[petet16]

Have you had a look in the engine bay fuse box, it could be one of the relays in there, I'd go outside and check mine, but it's snowing again.

[Jay-ZS+]

No not yet just drove to uni and in a lecture at the min, will check when I get home. I'd guess its a relay as was a constant ticking that sounded like a relay before it died.

[petet16]

A couple of fuses worth checking F4 & F9 in the engine bay, and F26 in the passenger fuse box, the relay is in the engine comp fuse box.

Cheers Pete gives me somewhere to aim at.

[Jay-ZS+]

Well all the fuses seem fine, just ordered a relay so hopefully that will do the job.

[Jay-ZS+]

Well the relay came today and has made no difference.

So I'm back to square one, know on the Mk1's there are the resistors that adjust the fan speed, what controls this on the MK2?

[petet16]

Resistors in the heater box, but different to the mk1 style, they're nicknamed hedgehog, and are expensive new, sadly

[Skillen]

If its climate control its a transistor set I believe.
And by all accounts they are expensive!

These are the only 2 in the xpart system http://www.mgroverpartfinder.co.uk/Distributor-JGN000010---TRANSISTOR+PACK-SPEED+CONTROL+BLOWER+HEA.aspx?back=%2fShowProducts .aspx%3fPageIndex%3d%26part%3dJGN000010%26browse%3 d

Ah did just remove that out of curiosity wondered what it was. I'm trying to follow the fault finding method for the cc but not getting anything up.

[Jay-ZS+]

Seems you can repair them, guess I'll give that a go next. Cant get any faults up on the display just goes from 1 to 6 then displays the temp.

[petet16]

I think the 6 might be a B, 1b is no faults

I'm sure Sheddist did a "how to" for repairing the transistor pack on the other forum

[Jay-ZS+]

Great thats a helpful finder then! :laugh:

just ordered the parts to replace in the hedgehog thing, about £4 so fingers crossed.

[petet16]

I just looked at the guide, it seems straightforward enough

Yer easy enough, if thats the fault!

[Jay-ZS+]

Well its fixed, turned out it was the mosfets that were at fault, took about 30mins to remove fix and replace so nice and simple.

To sum up
Cost to replace faulty part: £140+
Cost of components to fix faulty part: £4

Ready for a heatwave now, I expect.

Glad its sorted.

Let hope so! :thumbsup:

Excellent, bring on the heat:yes:

So where are your pictures and howto then? :p:punk:
