Heater in a 97 d-turbo

[diffin_always]

Hi i have a 97 pug 306 d-turbo. The heater when switched on makes the noise of blowng out air but does very little else! Does anyone know what the problem could be or what to check? cheers

The common Pug problem - the fan breaks off the motor. So, the motor is going like the clappers and the fan is doing about 20rpm.

Should be able to pull the fan out of under the dash and check the spring clip is holding the fan onto the motor OK. If that's OK then it could be one of the wee control flaps is jammed.

Where abouts do you mean under the dash? under glove box or what? cheers

I'd say under the glove box. Certainly where all the gubbins were in my 106 and the 504 my da had.

Ah ha., the old 504,,, one of the only RWD peugeots i knew of. well apart from the 405 picup.,, we had both,. nice big motors the 504!!!!

504 was the pickup. 505 was the saloon/estate version. Cracking oul motors. Mechanically bullet proof, shame the body rotted away to nothing.

They're still selling the 505 in S. Africa - no diesel version there, just the 1.8 8v petrol.

Blower is under the dash, on the glove box side.

eeeeek., it as the 505 i meant.sorry my bad, however the one my da had was diesel alright., unless he had an engine replant, which could of been possible!!! cause she smoked more than our turf fire but they were the only 2 RWD peugeots i knew of!!

Aye, cracking engines those old XD-III diesels. His had petrol put in it one time by somebody, drove 7 miles with the engine overheating and seizing up every 5 minutes. Cleaned out the fuel lines and tank and away she went again.

I remember coming in the dual carriageway from N'ards to Comber at 95 in her too, looked in the mirror and N'ards was gone. I think they probably had to close the wee airport too. The airbox in them was an oil filter, so if you gave it the welly on lumpy ground it would suck in some of the oil out of the airbox. Much comedy smoke.
