Climate control blowing cold air on left side and engine hot air on right
We've looked at the heater control valve with 2 solenoids, checked and they seem perfect. We are now checking power supply from the control unit. Are there any suggestions for possible cause? Keith (S type, 2008, V8 4.2 litre, 150,000 km)

Lots of threads to read, tends to be the same small set of things. Often a "working" DCCV is now low on ohms (if working at all) so takes out the module. Don't fix/change the module without being 100% sure the DCCV really is OK or you'll be doing the job again. (Swapping the DCCV is wise...)

Some light reading!

Just incase you decide on the dccv, the rubber boots/seals do perish on the valves of the dccv. XR840091

Likely cheaper to import from the UK. than the local agent, even given import and taxes.
SNG do courier, so the on going postal strike, (month 3) should not be an issue.
and welcome!

Google Automatic electronic repairs, in your part of the world JHB.
or call around some of the folk like the link below.
Who do most car type electronics, ECM etc for Audi ,BMW and Mercs, the big sellers, but should manage to do a Jaguar climate control unit.
DS Auto - Products.
I would double check wiring, DCCV, and the internal flap type dampers first, if not done so already.

Finally determined that the problems were with the DCCV and the climate control board. I looked at importing parts from UK and sourcing in South Africa. In the end I swallowed my pride and obtained a quotation from the local Jaguar agent (The Glen, Johannesburg) who has now done the job at a price marginally more than I could purchase the spares. They did an impeccable job at the quoted price. I'm driving cool again! I have the replaced parts which I'll have a good look at. Thanks for all the advice from the Forum!
