Peugeot 308 issues

Unread post by randomandy »

Hello!

I believe that my cars are conspiring against me. I had a stinking cold and haven't been able to have another look at the issues with the RCZ, now the 308 seems to have joined in.

It has decided that as we are in the coldest part of the year that it would be fun if no heat came out of the blower in the cabin. As I also found a relatively large puddle in the driver's footwell I thought it may have been the heater matrix having leaked but looking under the bonnet all the fluid levels seem to be correct. To my non-expert fingers it feels and smells as though it is water rather than coolant.

As it has been a bit wet over the last few weeks might the water be a blocked drainage channel? When I feel up to tackling it, where is the thermostat for the cabin temperature and what is the easiest way to check if it is working?

Thanks,

A.

That puddle sounds like a scuttle drain problem to me. Check the driver's side scuttle is draining down out of the car. :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!
