Had my Pug2066cc for about two weeks. Had a couple of problems with rattles here and there, but got it sorted (thanks to you lovely people). But I have one problem, and I don't know if it's me or what, but...

I feel like there's no heat getting to my feet. :shock: Compared to my previous "ordinary" 206, there's a noticable difference.

The upper part of the heating system is fine and dandy.

Does anyone else feel this or is there something wrong with my heating system?

I'm the same. Compared to my Tigra, my feet dont' get warm air at all. I just assumed that because there are also blowers at calf height, that there is less blowing on my feet, and therefore they don't get as warm as they would if the blowers only blew on them.

I think I've solved the problem. It seems that when the climate control is on "ECO" is when the footwells aren't heated, but when it's on actual climate control "A/C" my feet were instantly warm.

I guess it's just my mindset at the beginning, "A/C means cold!" but not in this case, I guess... :P

I've always left the air-con on as it dehumidifies and stops the screen misting up, and the hit on fuel economy seems minimal if anything. But I know what you mean, the foot area on the climate control sometimes doesn't seem to heat up much, I often put it on manual for a bit of a boost ;)

Get this! Took my Peugot back to the dealers (with huge ice cubes around my feet) and hey-presto, they fixed it! No heating problems anymore!

I checked mine today - definately no warm air blowing at foot level. Only from the vents on the sides of the central console.

Strangely, it doesn't seem to blow where its supposed to on other settings either, though the 'just windscreen' one is ok.

So i still have cold feet.

- did the dealer say what the cause of the problem was?
