Hi All

RRS HSE 2010 and the heating is only luke warm at best from drivers side and cool on passenger side (all vents front and back)

The motor is booked in Wed for a service anyway and I’ve also asked them to have a look at the heating (Independant LR specialist garage)

Yesterday I connected a decent diagnostics machine up to her and sure enough it’s picked up on the following fault code

Diagnostic machine connected and I get this error code

B1081-00 ( Left temperature damper motor

The RRS 2010 goes in Wednesday for a service and also they going to have a look at this issue. If it is the left temp damper motor is this a big job ?

Also as per photo below a 2nd fault code with the auxiliary heater, I don’t think these are related ?



Any thoughts ?

Well the auxiliary heater (as per fault code shot) goes along way to producing heat in these chilly conditions. (Well when it’s less than 5C outside )
So try and sort that. I think you remove the fbh fuse (under bonnet) for at least 20 seconds will attempt to reset it

Sounds like you have 3 issues !

Fbh

Stepper motor

Ok thank you for advice. So would you think the initial cold air blowing on passenger side (even after 30-45 mins in car journey) is due to the ‘left temperature damper motor’

I would have thought this…..

Anyone know if it’s a big job for the specialist garage, I have looked up the part and I don’t think the part is that costly I’m just thinking what labour would be required to replace

Also, anyone know what the FBH nunber is for when I look for it or what the diagram is. I’ll check under bonnet and try this step first

If you are referring to the FBH fuse number, check Fuse No. 2 under bonnet mentions FBH or possibly No. 28 as that mentions Diesel Aux heater, if it is the same as a 12/13 car.
