Hi guys I have a 1997 Mini Equinox, It is only blowing cold air around and no hot air.

Would anybody have an idea how to solve it please?

Many thanks

I'd start by feeling the pipes that go into and come out of the heater and see if one is a lot colder than the other.

 

Feel the pipes in the engine compartment as they enter the bulk head or under the dash where they enter the heater.

 

The cause could be an air lock or a build up of crud that has blocked the heater matrix if the coolant hasn't been changed regularly.

Check the valve is actually opening.
