Thread: D3 Heater performance

Mine was similar until I turned it off the full auto setting. I leave it on auto fan (one dot on the auto button) and manually open the vents with the buttons on the left.

Now I have no problems.

20 or 22 deg C setting on my temp controls seem to be fine on chilly Melb mornings (4-6 deg C) with fan speed on 1 or 2. If I set higher then I'd be roasted.

I'd say you have some sort heating problem.

That sounds like the case, my D2 would boil you if you left it on auto much above 20-21.

Takes 10 minutes to warm up, but once there, roasty toasty on full auto 22!!!

30 Minutes??? Something wrong methinks,

The real solution is .................
Live somewhere warm

When you turn the knobs all the way to the right plenty of hot air comes out but at anything less than full blast it gets chilly. Engine temperature reads normal and the problem is still there after 30 minutes running. Climate control seems to work fine on cool as I've never needed to ajust temperature until now.

Try pushing the econ button. My guess is you still have the aircon engaged.
My does exactly the same as yours.....as it should, until you hit the econ button. Then you should find the heater is too hot.

Over the last few days I've tested mine again. The behavior has changed, and full auto works. You choose your temp and it sets it. It will now bake your food on the way home from the supermarket regardless of the setting of the auto button. Perhaps they quietly fixed a problem I didn't know I had at a service?

The AC is automatic. You shouldn't need to turn it to econ to turn it off.

Mine appears to be improving too, maybe a sticking door or something inside the heater assy??
