 Nissan Qashqai - 09 1.5 heater not getting beyond lukewarm - DP
My father in law has an 09 reg Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi, which he recently booked in to the dealer service department under warranty because he felt the heater (climate control) wasn't getting properly warm.
The dealer had it for the day, and when he went to pick it up, they said that it was normal for a diesel because of the way the heat is drawn from the engine (that's a new one!) and that they'd 'got it up by a couple of degrees, but that's how it is'.
I've just driven the car tonight for the first time, as he wanted my opinion, and frankly this dealership must have been going for 'fob off of the year' award. The heater is pathetic, as in 1970's BMC Mini pathetic. After setting the temperatures on both sides to "HI" and taking the car for a 20 minute fast A-road drive, getting the temperature gauge up to its normal half way point, the air coming out of the vents could best be described as lukewarm. You can turn the temperature dials down to 17°C before the air cools noticeably.
Clearly the dealer needs a word with, and this will happen on Monday, but as they are clearly clueless / incompetent, has anyone else come across this before? Any ideas?
Googling would suggest this fault is very rare.
The heater during last winter, incidentally, was toasty warm, which again the dealer didn't seem to take on board.

Cheers
DP
