I'd look at the last thing you touched, only because this seems like the first instance of this problem.
Have you had your console out recently?
First thing I would try is contact cleaner and reconnect.
Other than that NFI.

Well you did take your facsia off when you got it painted,perhaps you didn't clip the plugs back in properly .

Going to get my Mechanic suss it out as all the fuses are fine so will just have to wait and see

do you have fan but no heat or no fan and no heat?

Does temp gauge indicate engine is running a correct temp - cold water will not make for good heater - saw same recently with faulty thermstat in bro's Audi A6

Dont think that these cars or Magnas have 'heater taps".Heater is always "on" its just the airflow that is directed over the heater core to "produce ' the heat.


can you elaborate???

You must have a problem in the air distribution side of things...there must be a flap or lever some where in your system that isnt directing the air to where it needs to go.

If you can hear the fan, but there is no air flow, then some heat-air-ducting has come loose somewhere...have you tried air-con? same problem?

I would be having a look to make sure that the lever hasn't dislodged...#13 in the pic below

So after a scan with the OBD scanner the fault was in the Climate control module ECU replaced and have heat again!!

The OBD logged 9 faults all up all relating to the climate

Wow, "Climate control module" - OK, one of the five computers I suppose.
