Seat Cordoba Diesel Defrost Flap Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2008 Seat Cordoba diesel is experiencing a defrost air distribution flap error, leading to reduced heating output. The issue is suspected to be caused by a faulty cable or plug connection. A suggestion to check the connections to the HVAC unit behind the dashboard is made, as similar symptoms were noted in another vehicle. The problem was resolved by a local shop, confirming a cable issue with the defrost flap.

Connections to the HVAC unit, huh? Is it a big job to get to those? And when you say 'all over the place', do you mean sometimes hot, sometimes cold air coming out?

Yep, pretty much! Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, like it couldn't decide what to do. Getting to the HVAC unit can be a bit of a pain, involves removing parts of the dashboard panel. Honestly, if you're not super confident, it might be worth getting a workshop to take a look. Could save you a headache.

Took it to a local shop, and they confirmed the cable issue with the defrost flap. 95€ later, and I've got proper heat again. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it!

Sounds familiar! Had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. Was the temperature regulation all over the place? Have you checked the connections to the HVAC unit behind the dashboard panel? That ventilation system can be a real pain to get to.
