08 Getz 1.1Gsi - Heating Not Working

Hi,

Hoping someone on here can help me!

Well as my title says, I have an 08 plate Hyundai Getz 1.1 Gsi and my heating isn't working. You can hear it running but nothing comes out of the blowers, no heat or cold air, literally nothing at all.

I've had it into a local garage and what they've been able to rule out the thermostat (its working}, the pipes (both get hot). the guard (was secure), they have however discovered that the controls aren't moving the flaps that allow the air to go through the blowers.

They've said that as they can't determine whether its electrical or not so the only viable solution they can give me is to take the glove box out, set the flaps to a certain position that will allow warm air to blow through but only into one position.

I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem and found a solution that actually makes the heating work. Or if there are any mechanics that have seen this problem and know what the likely issue is?

I would much rather have the ability to turn my heating on and off than to be stuck either as is and having to wear 2 pairs of gloves when driving in the winter (the only way I could cope with the cold whilst driving last winter) or to have it on with no ability to turn if off, or where to direct the heat!!

Please help! :wink:

When you turn the knob, do you feel that it is connected to something, or is it just free-wheeling in place?

I have a problem in my Getz: the rear of the knob has a small hook, which connects to a cable that runs to the evaporator/blower box that sits behind the glovebox. In my Getz, that hook is broken so it doesn't pull the cable.
