Does the temp gauge read 'normal'? Could be the thermostat has stuck open and whole engine is not getting up to working temp. Or the water/heater valve is not opening fully, or as others have said an air lock.
I must admit the rear heater in our 06 Ducato seems better than the dash unit!
yes you are right that stops the draught but dose not cure the problemHad the same problem with my Ducato, cold draught coming into cab under passenger dash, (dearly beloved travelling with a blanket wrapped round her legs)tried lagging it with underlay material and insulating it with expanding foam, both to no avail! then stumbled accross a solution that has worked well and cost me nothing. The slider control on the dashboard that changes the air supply from exterior to recirculated, slide it over to the right (recirculated) as far as it will go, this cured the problem for a while but then started to get cold air coming in again, then I realised that the slider control was slowly creeping back to the left, allowing cold air to come in again, cured this by using a plastic card similar to a credit card and wedging this aginst the slide lever and the L.H.S of the slot, wife not had cold feet since.
Our previous m/h was also the same COLD!,
but our present m/h has a factory fitted heater in the habitation area working of the warm water from the radiator
Would not be without it now
It gets the area too warm so we have to turn it down
Our extra habitation heater used while traveling, is located under the front seat of the dinette
i understand thatThat stands to reason as supplied and fitted as an extra by Hymer.
my van is due in in a week or two for its first habitation check and a few minor problems and extras i hope highbridge give me as good a srevice as you recieved if not you will all hear about itTouch wood, I have only had one minor problem, and that was sorted out by Brownhills (although they have a bad name) immediately.
I called in on my way home from France (without notifying them) and a new water pump was supplied and fitted within the hour.
The existing pump failed that morning
also noted draught on cold days entering through fridge vents and circulating round the van whilst on the move
when i first got my beddy i noticed that about the fridge vents but i got two vent covers they work a treat but when i have the fridge turned on i always remove them for safety
