Let's not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of the Seat Tribu. Heating and air conditioning are systems that lower or increase the air temperature. The first thanks to the heat generated by the engine, and the other with a fluid refrigerant . Your ventilation is the set of ducts and systems that give the opportunity for air to reach the interior of the vehicle. The main component is kicker which sends air into your cabin. In the event that the air arrives very little or not at all, it is undoubtedly a concern of ventilation. We will see in this post how a breakdown works, in order to better perceive the problems and understand how to remedy them.
How does ventilation work on a Seat Tribu
The ventilation is used to start circulating the air inside the passenger compartment of the Seat Tribu. Regarding the blower, it generally consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The more the integral resistance of the circuit is lowered, the faster the turbine operates. By turning the button in the vehicle, the resistance is lowered.
Seat Tribu: common ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
When the ventilation works but very little air arrives inside the seat of the Seat Tribu, it is possible that the air shutters are clogged. With the aid of screwdriver flat, it is possible to disassemble the air shutter valves. Just check in if they are blocked. If this is the case it is possible to clean them, but also the valves.
Dirty cabin filter
When you discern fumes and this ventilation lacks power, the concern must certainly come from the cabin Tribe's cabin filter. The latter is blocked and piled up bacteria as time goes by. It is quite common that it is dirty, it is there to purify the air that reaches you. There is no recommendation from the manufacturer as to when to change it. We simply advise you to remove it, check its condition. When the latter is completely black, it will be preferable to replace it.
Resistance of the blower HS
When the ventilation knobs on your Seat Tribu are not working well, if not really, it is certainly linked to the resistance. This resistance is used to raise the tension to be able to increase the speed of this turbine. A strange malfunction of this ventilation may be related to a concern for resistance. This microchip is complex to troubleshoot. It will have to be replaced.
HS blower motor
There are several relatively common problems with the kicker. The brushes may be worn out. Over the years, these can deteriorate and cause electrical faults. The kicker may work randomly, or may not work at all. It is also possible that the concern comes from bearings of the fan motor. When the ventilation whistles, comparable to a rusty mechanism, it can happen that its bearings require lubrication.
