Heater Issue

Unread post by gazbe1975 »

I have a DS4 2011, the heater has decided to only blower hot air out of the passengers side whereas the drivers side still works but only blows cold air.
Both sides adjust the speed correctly, it is just the temperature that is different.

Possible air distribution motor for the air mixing or matrix blockage.

I found out a few weeks ago I have a similar problem on my DS9. I got the car in August and it isn't a daily drive and with it being mild till mid october, then we spent 2 weeks away I only noticed last month.

When DS called me to arrange the 2 warranty repairs outstanding I mentioned it. The guy asked a technician who was passing by and he said it's perhaps the heater matrix.

The issue I now have is because the mid December date they suggested is inconvenient I had to push the DS visit back to early Jan. Now I'm faced with probably 800 miles of driving over Xmas and being cold. Not ideal.

Is there any tips anybody has to lessen the problem? The high and low vents as you would expect are constantly open, the middle ones in the centre console are too. The only thing I can adjust is the door vents and open and close them. On my side I have closed the door vent but can't really tell if that just increases the air flow to the centre, I presume it probably does.

Had my car in a local Peugeot specialists, they said my problem was with this part (Air Flap Motor Heater Actuator -- TI002120VE) & they sourced a brand new part for just £25 including fitting.
My car is now warm on both sides plus the rear demister wasn't working, which was a bad connector & they sorted that was well.
