Clio Hybrid low heating output

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2022 Renault Clio Hybrid. The heating output is very low, almost cold, even when the engine is warm. I've checked the error memory and there's a stored error related to the water valve. From what I can tell, the cable or plug connection might be defective. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

That sounds familiar! I also have a Clio, though a slightly older model. I remember someone mentioning a similar problem. It turned out to be a faulty water valve connection. Think of it like a kink in a garden hose – the flow gets restricted. Was the error message specific about the valve's location or any particular circuit?

The error code doesn't specify a location, unfortunately. It just indicates a general malfunction of the water valve. Did the person you mentioned replace the entire valve, or was it just a wiring issue? I'm trying to gauge whether I can fix it myself or if it requires special tools.

From what I recall, the solution was a bit of both – the connection was corroded and the valve itself wasn't functioning optimally anymore. Given the hybrid system's complexity, and the potential for coolant leaks, I'd advise getting it checked by a qualified workshop. It could save you from bigger headaches down the road. Think of it as preventative medicine for your car!

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I took it to the workshop, and you were right – it was indeed a faulty water valve connection and a partially blocked valve. They replaced the valve and fixed the wiring for 95€. The heating is now working perfectly again.
