Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just acquired a 2002 C2 and have noticed the air blowing from the heater is warm but not hot. The fan is blowing and the A/C is off. I do see some foam pieces in the duct work. The previous owner states he’s never had an issue but also lived in Dallas. The car has been in Texas since new. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Have you checked the heater core? Perhaps it needs to be replaced?

POST 3Original post

This is a known fairly common problem with multiple fixes. It is the foam, or loss of it. The heater flap doors are full of holes covered with the foam. It dries out and blows off rendering the flaps unable to seal and divert. do a search many vids of repairs. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/1041050-996-heater-flap-repair.html
