Heating and cooling problems with the 2011 Ford Ranger: experiences and solutions

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2009 model Ford Kuga. I would describe myself as someone with some car experience. My garage found that the electric auxiliary heater was faulty. The repair cost me 350 euros. To be able to help you more precisely, it would be helpful if you could tell me which model you drive and the number of kilometers. Maybe then I can give you more specific advice.

Hey, thanks for your answer! My Ranger now has 67368 km on it. The last service wasn't that long ago either. So I really hope it's just the electric auxiliary heater and nothing more. Maybe the price will be similar to your Kuga.

Hey, you're welcome! With 67k kilometers, your car shouldn't have too many problems yet. If it really is the auxiliary heater, then the costs could indeed be similar to my Kuga. However, this varies depending on the garage. I would recommend you visit a Ford garage and have it checked. Their diagnosis will cost a bit, but you'll be smarter afterwards and you can still decide whether to have it fixed there or somewhere else. Hopefully it's just a minor issue and nothing serious. Stay optimistic and let them know how it turns out!

Thanks again for your help! Yes, I think that's a good plan. I'll make an appointment with the Ford workshop tomorrow and hope that it really is just the auxiliary heater. As soon as I know more, I'll let you know here. Thanks again and it's nice to always find someone here who can help. That definitely gives me confidence. See you then and have a nice evening!
