| Manually adjust heater blend motors |
|
typical its winter and my heater blend motor passenger side has failed.
Rather than rip my dash apart i read somewhere that someone was able to manually adjust the flap to allow constant heat as sods law its in the cold position.
Is this possible, has anyone done this?
I will get round to replacing it.
Does anyone know which motor on the passenger side is for the heat control, top or bottom, and the part numbers.

| Part no LH Heater Blend Motor & cooling system cleaner |
|
The part number for the LH heater mix motor is LR041273..
FYI I’ve bought one but haven’t installed it. I’m convinced I’ve got a partially blocked heater matrix/core. There was no heat left or right side until my mechanic flushed the core by disconnecting both connectors in the engine bay and running a hose through it at very low pressure. This gave heat on the right (drivers) side. So I think I’m going to try either LiquiMoly or Wurth cooling system flush to try and clear the rest of the matrix/core. Has anyone else tried ithis stuff?

blocked matrix is a common issue.
The only way to clear it enough, is to remove the matrix really, as you are trying to push dirt up a hill

Yeah you’re probably right but it might be worth trying the easier options first. Not much to lose.

Flushed the matrix on mine recently, seemed to make a real difference. Easy to get to the matrix hoses to make connections. Followed South Main Autos video on YouTube.
