Ford Focus 2001 1.8 diesel - No hot air!! - vickster

Hi can anybody suggest anything ive got the above car, which is only blowing cold air, when driving, the temp gauge is normal, would it be the fuse and if so do you know the number of the fuseor something more sinister like the thermostat and is that easy to change?

kind regards

If the temperarture gauge is reading normal the thermostat will be OK. I believe these use an electrically controlled water valve which goes faulty, sounds as though yours has stuck closed.
