    Hello All,

    I'm currently driving a F430 that is from 2006. I'm more that satisfied with it.
    It has 16500km on the clock and is running fine.

    With the winter coming in France, I have noticed something.
    I get heat (adjusting the temp knob) ONLY when the A/C is ON.

    If I switch the A/C off, I get a quite fresh temperature and even with the knob set to MAX --> No heat.

    1st: Is this a normal way of working ?
    2nd: Can someone try on his car, and give his feedback ?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Cyril

    Hello Cyril.

    With my 360 i have the same.
    With airco i can blow cold and hot but when i push the "stop" button, no heat or cold, just fresh air ( from outside )

    Greetings,

    Dirk/Marbella

    Thank you both for your feedback.

    Are there any F430 owners that could also bring some input in this thread ? ;-) That would make the threat complet for the 360/430 section.

    Ciao tutti.

    Since you're essentially driving a 360 with a bigger engine and a body kit, the exercise would be moot.
    The heater snafu is normal.

    The a/c compressor needs to be on to blow heat.
