Few problem I'm having after my engine swap sr20det

Common problem on most nissans, on drivers side look under the dash beside where the foot rest is you will see an actuator that controls the hot/cold valve of the heating they tend to stick some times pack in all togeter,
If you cant get it to move disconnect the plastic latch, push it either back or forwards and you can latch it in a "back up" position.........and you have hot air..........

That's the exact problem Keli's car is having caused by that actuator. Hers is permanently on hot until we get a replacement part.

^^^^^ Just scrapped a 180 shell, dash was still in it could of rescued you one FOC! forgot about it ah well

[topdog]

knew the rad was the problem! Pain in the arse about the heating hope you get it sorted tho!

[si_berry]

Are you driving it or leaving it sit? It can take a long time for the coolant to get up to temperature if its just sitting there! You have the fan flowing in on things aswell.
With mine it took some time for the stat to open.. you'll hear a woooshh when it opens

Rad and idle all sorted now. I'm just here having a look under the dash at the actuator that opens the heating it seems to be only pushing up half way up the track tried to push it up the rest not happening I have a spare one here from my old shell so I'll change that out see if it works

ah good job horse ! nothing worse than a bogey idle !

Was checkin the actuator for the heating on the drivers side at the pedals it's working alright but it seem s like that just adjusts were the heat is going like to the windscreen or Yr feet etc there's no movement wen you adjust the temperature . There's another adjustable actuator on the p/s that's not moving at all no matter what u press you s sure that s not for adjusting the temperature any had this problem before?

[Greg]

I never noticed your man said drivers side, sorry. Ya, it's the one on the passenger side that controls the temperature.

My bad couldnt rem, its passenger side
Like greg its simple enough to latch it into the hot position (it means you have heat and your head isnt gone) If you try push it back and forth it might be blocked/cloged it would explain why the actuator poo'd its self, check both pipes on bulk head (engine side) and see if there warm BUT!!!! if neither actuator is working you have a blown fuse or a bad climate control unit witch are common on all nissans

And dont be a stinge put some pics up,

If you need a climate control unit I have two spare ones here somewhere.
