Heating and fan problems in the Seat Arona Diesel (2018)

Hi mate, I had a similar problem with my Seat Ibiza (2015, approx. 75,000 KM). The heater wasn't working properly and the fan was also a bit stubborn. The mechanic finally determined that the electric auxiliary heater had given up the ghost. It was actually quite a serious problem. The repair was no piece of cake, with a fair bit of fiddling around and a few hours needed for the mechanic to get the job done. You could say it was like they were performing heart surgery on my car. So take care, buddy. It could be that your Seat has this problem too. Hopefully it's something simpler, but it's definitely worth getting it checked by a professional. Don't make the same mistake I did and wait too long. Better safe than sorry!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. It sounds really serious and I'll take your tip to have it checked by a professional. I just hope it doesn't hurt too much financially... Do you remember what you left with the mechanic back then? And are there any recent doubts about the repair or has everything remained fit? I would be delighted to hear your feedback!

Hey, no problem, I'm happy to help! As far as the costs are concerned, I paid around €350 to fix the electric auxiliary heater. Yes, that was quite a lot of money, but afterwards everything ran like clockwork again. Since I had it done by my mechanic, the auxiliary heater has been trouble-free. No more problems, so no need to worry. Your money would have been well invested if you have the same problem. In hindsight, I can only say it was worth every penny. So don't worry, the guys will sort it out!

Great, your information really helps me. 350 is a lot, but if everything runs perfectly again afterwards, then it's worth it. Thank you, you've reassured me and given me the impetus I needed. I'll go straight to the garage tomorrow and won't put it off any longer. Hopefully the mechanic will do his work as thoroughly as you did! Thanks again and have a nice evening!
