Kangoo weak heating

My 2023 Renault Kangoo with a gasoline engine has weak heating. Diagnostic scans show an error. I think it's the water valve, maybe a bad cable or plug. Has anyone seen this?

I had a similar heating problem with my old Opel Astra diesel: weak heat and an error code. Did you check the coolant level? A small leak caused low coolant, which messed with the heating. Is the engine temperature normal?

Thanks, I checked the coolant, and it's fine. The engine temperature seems normal too. What error code did your Astra have, and what else did you check?

The Astra's error code was generic about the coolant circuit. After checking the obvious stuff, I took it to my local workshop. They said it was a faulty thermostat and a slightly blocked heater core. Your Kangoo is newer, so I'd guess an electrical issue. I'd suggest a trusted mechanic.

Thanks, I'll take it to a technician for diagnostics and repair, given the possible electrical fault. The estimated cost is 95€ for the water valve repair.
