Seat Cordoba Heating Output Low

I'm experiencing some rather annoying issues with my Seat Cordoba, built in 2001, with a diesel engine. It has about 153613 km on the clock. The heating output is far too low, especially now that winter is coming. Also, there's an error stored in the error memory, which points towards a defective water valve in the cooling system. Could a valve blockage be the reason? Could it also be a defective plug connection?

Sounds familiar. Had something similar with my old Opel. The car heating was weak, especially at idle. Is your engine overheating?

Overheating? No, the temperature gauge is normal. But what exactly was the problem with your Opel, and what did you do about it?

In my case, the valve wasn't opening properly. It was stuck. The mechanic suggested that it might cause engine overheating in the long run, so I got it replaced. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to have it checked. Better safe than sorry.

You were right, it was probably the valve. I had the Seat in the workshop. Apparently, the water valve was defective, just as the error memory indicated. The mechanic also suspected the cable or plug connection. The final bill was around 95€. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks for your help!
