temp guage and heater

[Ablyth]

Today my heater appears to have stopped working, this is my worst nightmare as im always cold :P and also my temp guage that tells me the outside temp is telling me its 72 degrees out there :cool:
Now my question is are these two issues related?? do they work together hence both failing at the same time...
I really do wish it was 72 degrees outside, maybe it am just a cold blooded?? or is it :snowy0:

Lizzzard! Lol

Could be if the climate control thinks its 72 then it would not put the heat on more likely the AC after all its warm out there

[Ablyth]

the climate control hasnt been on.

[cyclone]

even manual it should be using the sensor to know the temp

[Ablyth]

sooooo is it faulty?? or is there such a thing as reset? or will it have to go to the "citroen doctor"
Bet its the doc lol
I need my heat back

[cyclone]

Have you tried turning it off and on again!
Seriously though might try to pull the fuse or disconnect the battery, can't hurt anyway.

[Ablyth]

That will be a tomorrow job, and i did try the on/off lol
the cars spanner is flashing at me so first service is due, will mention this little issue. Hope its covered under warranty.

First check would be to make sure that the car is really reading in degrees rather then fahrenheit otherwise it some sound like a failed sensor.

[Ablyth]

It is in degrees, although this morning it was only reading 53 degrees lol
it was freezing as the heater wouldnt work. Is it really summer?

Mine reads in centigrade not Fahrenheit is it under the menu options Biggie ?

[Ablyth]

Oops yeah mine is centigrade.

Oops yeah mine is centigrade.

If you have never felt 50 C trust me you do not want your heater on.

the highest I have been in is 42c that was bad enough thanks lol

Temp sensor has failed and as the thing thinks its 72 outside it will not allow the heat on
