Hi,
With the cold weather I was looking forward to using the cars Auxiliary Heater Boost thing to warm the car up quickly. However it doesn’t seem to work at all. The car takes quite a long time to heat up like all CDi engines and only then you get warm air into the cabin. I asked a mate to read the fault codes on Sunday and sure enough there was one relating to a fault with the Auxiliary heater control module (Lost communication I think it could have been)... this morning as it was cold I remembered to have a prod around. First off I’ll check the fuse... however I can’t find a fuse for it!
The fuse diagram says fusel 35 I believe but if I take a look there is nothing in there and there and it looks like it would need some sort or cradle for the fues. Could somebody give me some guidance, am I :
a. Looking for the wrong fuse
b. Maybe my car doesn’t have an Auxiliary heater boost thingy (It’s an O2 plate C270 CDi W203) and the instrument cluster has the settings in the menu to turn it on/off via EC and times to automatically turn on.
My indi mate said you should be able to hear it working (like a small paraffin heater) but I certainly can’t hear anything.
Any ideas before I start spending lots on having this investigated properly?
Thanks
Ed
