Puma Low Climate Control Heat

My 2021 Ford Puma hybrid has low heating output despite the engine being at operating temperature. It has done 245894 km. I'm getting an error code pointing towards the water valve and suspect a dodgy cable or plug. Has anyone seen similar?

I've got a Puma too and had a similar issue a while back with the heating being weak. Did you check the engine coolant level? Coolant could be leaking somewhere. I'll check my car again maybe I remember more.

Coolant level's spot on, I topped it up recently and checked for leaks, nothing obvious. Was your error code also related to the water valve specifically? What did replacing this part do on your car?

Yes, it was exactly that valve. If you're getting that error code and the heating is weak, and you exclude the simple like an air lock (bleeding valve), I would suggest a visit to the workshop. They can test the valve properly before replacing it. Cost me about 95€ all in. The heating was back to normal after they changed it.

Cheers. Sounds like that's the culprit then. I'll get it booked in for a check. Thanks for confirming – saves me chasing shadows! It helps if you know other people have had a similar issue and found a solution. Appreciated!
