Heating malfunction in the Fiat Panda 169

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Air conditioner

In this video we can see how to solve the problem of the heating system of the Fiat Panda 169 that is not working. The YouTuber discovered that the issue was caused by the small shaft that controls the engine operation, which had literally snapped in two pieces. With some ingenuity, he created a similar metal shaft, but longer in length, so that it could be inserted in place of the broken plastic one. By heating the plastic, he was able to insert the new shaft and put the motor back in place; this allowed the heating system to start working again, sending out hot air as it did before.
