My car is 206cc 2003 build with 1.6 dohc engine and climate control. Recently my car registers on the dash temp gauge an overheated coolant system and when I check nothing is wrong and if I continue to drive the temp
needle returns to normal and a short time later the whole thing starts over. I was told that this fault could be the heater blower resistor or hedgehog. I purchased a resistor which looks like a boxy thing and fits on heating ducting and that to access it you pull it through the duct etc. My problem is that I have not been able to locate this resistor and out of sheer frustration have removed the dash in the hope that I can access it. All to no avail. Further research revealed that as my heater blower has what is described as a Hedgehog I am starting to suspect that the hedgehog [spikey thing] is the resistor and I am on a fools errand looking for one in the heatger ducting.
Hopefully this all makes sense because I am at wits end.
