[s-cars] No heat

[Tony]

In my case I only had the car three months. I didn't yet have the Bently or ETKA CDs and it was October and in Ottawa that means getting cold. So I just headed to the dealer for a quick fix. I guess replacing the flapper motor was the easiest thing for them to do.

  And it could also be the little plastic connecting rod which joins the motor to the flap.  If that's the case then it's an overpriced three dollar fix.

    I had this problem and was a $300Cdn fix at my local dealer.
