P38 only blowing hot air...

virtualme123 · May 10, 2011

Since I got my P38 DSE it has only been blowing hot air out even when I change the temperature down to low. I seem to be able to sometimes get the left handside to go cooler but right hand side is always hot. I read somewhere that this might just be the airflow not mixing correctly so could be a servo? Any tips or hints would be appreciated, I had a thought that to check the servo I might want to pass a current through it to see if it was dud or not.

Thanks

Just type in blend motors in search box at top of page, should keep you busy reading for a while.

As KDS said, blend motors failed, common fault

Thanks everyone, looks like yet another 'feature' of the P38 to investigate, I've now got plenty of things to try!

Cheers

I've had the instrument panel out and got to the servos, however opening them both up all the gears look good with no signs of wear. If I disconnect the connector to the three servos and apply a 12v supply this should be a good test to see if they are working or not right? I want to try and rule out a faulty HVAC unit. I did notice with engine running and watching the top servo trying to move the big white cog but only about 5mm.

Cheers
