I have Ford Puma and i can't get the heating off "HOT" Can anyone help?
Answers:
I assume you can move the dial, but you still receive heat? Most likely a vacuum hose is disconnected. There is a valve in the heater hose going to the inside of the car that is shut off by vacuum. If the valve doesn't close the hot water will continue to go in the car and you will have hot air. Check to see if the heater hoses are hot after the valve. Good Luck
you mean 'even when I switch to other settings like cool or AC'?
this sounds a like a broke/stuck thremostat
anyone else concur?
or you cannot move the controller?
wind the window down
trade it in and get a Mercury cougar,there the same car but with different looks and it preforms the same too.
if the dial is still turning in the car but nothing is happening then they have a small valve behind the bulkhead that fails costs around 40 quid from fords.
This is a common fault on Pumas and Fiestas. There is a motorised pulsed valve which sits in the coolant supply line to the heater matrix. This valve fails, and you either get hot all the time, or cold all the time, and no way of changing it. A good Ford parts-man will know all about this valve, they have a high failure rate, and Ford have sold plenty
