• Chrysler Voyager (1997 - 2001) - 97 3.3 Air Con problems 6 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Now what i want to know is, if there was a problem with the screen ventiing, would this stop the heat going on it? Or will this only effect the AC flow to the screen. Think they call it an evaporator failure? But untill i get my ac working i cant really test it. Could it be something broken in the mixture thats making the clicking noise?

Over the next two weeks , the car had a few shudders, transmission i thought, but my main concern was the heated windscreen that only cleared one side.
• Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - 98 1.8 No heat in a climate control model 30 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, Our xsara is the 1.8 16v exclusive model which has air con and climate control (not the digital version though), we no longer get heat from the matrix yet the pipes are hot on both sides of it. I downloaded a BSI technical manual that explains the temperature is controlled by mixing the hot air from the heater matrix and the cold air from the condenser to get the required temp.
• Insurance companies Fighting your corner 12 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Hi all Last month my car was written off. As i waited behind a parked car (two thirds of the front of my car was behind it)for the oncoming car to pass i saw to my horror that the car swerved from its original course(opposite side of the road) straight into my car at about 25-30mph without breaking.I got out of my car to check that the woman who was driving and her kids in the back were all OK.Thankfully they were.

• Chrysler Voyager - ignition problem 19 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I have had problems with no heat coming out of the normal vents just from the top dash vent only for quite some time now! it was suggested by removing the heater panel which has 4 screws you might be able to find out if that was the problem, is that the heater panel where you turn on the heat inside the car?
