Thalia Seat Heating Fault

Anyone seen issues with seat heating on a 2006 Thalia/Symbol gasoline? Mine's done 154281 km. It's not heating, and there's an error code. I think it's the heating mat.

Sounds familiar! My old Opel Astra had a similar problem, but it was the temperature control unit. The seat heating wouldn't get warm. Did you check the fuse for the seat heater? Where did you see the error code? Generic or seat-specific?

Thanks, I checked the fuse already. The OBD-II scanner says there's an open circuit in the seat heating element. Before I replace the mat, which costs 390€, has anyone else had this?

An open circuit is different from my Opel. I didn't go that deep, I just took it to a shop. A broken heating element sounds like a pain. Given the price, I'd let a professional handle it unless you're comfortable with car electrics. Best to avoid messing something else up!

Thanks for confirming the potential severity. I'll get a professional repair. Your insights were helpful.
