Seat Tarraco Heating Problem

My 2021 Seat Tarraco with a diesel engine is playing up. Heating output is rubbish. Plugged it in and got an error related to the defrost air distribution flap. Mileage is 148286 km. Thinking it's the cable or plug connection, as the error description said. Anyone else had this issue?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Tarraco's ventilation system, though I wasn't getting any error codes at first. The temperature regulation was all over the place, and the air circulation seemed weak. Check the air distribution flap motor; if it's not getting the right signal, it can mess with the whole climate control system. Is it stuck in one position?

Interesting! You mentioned the air distribution flap motor. Where exactly is that located, and how difficult is it to check the signal? Any specific tools I might need? I'm comfortable doing some DIY, but I don't want to mess anything up further.

Okay, I never checked the signal myself, to be honest. I suspected the flap motor, checked for obvious damage and then took it to a workshop. Since the error memory mentions a defective cable or plug connection, it's highly likely that's the culprit. I'd still suggest getting it checked by a professional to be certain. Could save you time and potential headaches.

Took it to the workshop and you were spot on. They checked the cable and plug connection for the defrost air distribution flap. It was faulty. 95€ later and the heating is blasting again. Thanks a bunch for your help!
