hi I have a ford fiesta 2001 1.25 zetec when I have my heaters on they will blow hot for maybe 30 seconds or so then cold then hot then cold I heard that the heater control valve is a common fault so I have replaced it with a new one and still have the same problem any ideas thanks

I would start easy simple-
Check engine cooling system- radiator full of coolant, correct thermostat, any work done that may have opened system- could be trapped air.
A little more involved
Is the engine reaching correct temp (ECT) ?
Fans are not on constantly?
Any codes, CEL on?
Is the mode/temp select electric or vacuum?

Hi thanks for the reply
Engine coolant is at max very rare it uses any
No work done apart from oil and filters changed about 8 month ago
I've had the car just over a year and temp guage has always sat at halfway
Fans are not constantly on
How do I check if temp select is electric or vacuum

The temp blend door is electric.
