FORD KA, heater

d_deridex · 11-08-2009, 06:29 PM

Hi there the heater has packed up on my Wifes KA. Ive had a look and so I dont have to take all the dash apart. Is the KA's heater radiator fed or element heated?

Its just that the heater knob is rather loose turning im not sure if it was always like this.

All fuses are good

Would appreciate a response

Hi d_deridex

If there is no heat flush the heater core and check the heater control valve thats connected to the heater hose or the firewall.

post back your findings.

Hi there, i can report that the valve was stuck. It has been replaced and the heater is working.

Thanks
