Mini Countryman low heat output error

My 2021 Mini Countryman is throwing a low heat output error, and the error memory points to a defective water valve. Suspect the cable or plug connection. Any thoughts?

That's a bummer. I had a similar heating issue with my Countryman. Do you know if the error code pointed specifically to the water valve or something else? And did you check the engine coolant level?

Okay, if the error code is specific and the coolant is good, it does sound like the valve itself. Mine ended up needing a replacement. Given the potential for valve blockage and the error code, I'd suggest a workshop visit to confirm the diagnosis. Could save you some headache.

The error code does point to the water valve. Coolant level is fine. You mentioned a similar issue - was it also a valve blockage, or something else?

Appreciate the insight. Turns out it was the automotive valve itself. New car valve installed and the car heating is back to normal. All in, 95€.
