I've just bought a heater control panel to change with the one I have in my 944.

Any tip's on how to remove the trim to get to the four screw's that hold the panel in please ?

Have a look on Clarks garage (http://www.clarks-garage.com/)

Scroll down the list until you reach Dash Removal, select 'late dash replacement' and about half way down that page there are some pretty pics :)

be careful when removing the clock trim strip as they become very brittle

Didn't have to remove the clock trim as the heater control panel has its own trim.

Did this solve your heating problem?

Have you changed the infamous clip? Next to / under the glovebox?

I had the opposite problem in that I had constant cold air blowing into the driver's footwell.

I eventually found the problem was in the blower unit under the bonnet near the windscreen. Looking in through the mesh at the end I could see that the flap was not closing, therefore not cutting off the cold air. The actuator mechanism on the side was seized. Cleaned and lubricated everything and have never had a problem since - except the white clip broke once.

I might suggest that you may have the same problem but the flap is sticking shut and not letting cold air through.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks and made sure that the heater valve (vacuum operated) on the side of the head is working?

Hi Bob, I have a good second hand one on one of my cars for breaking if you need it!
