I have a 2015 Nissan Leaf Acenta 24kWh. It is absolutely freezing in the UK at the moment, like -2°C outside.
I often pre-heat the car, but it has semed less effective recently. The normal heating has worked fine though up until today, so I have been fully powering the car up in order to heat it more effectively before driving.
Today I did the same, and it seemed to be warming up, defrosting the windscreen, but then stopped heating completely.
I've tried running the AC and HEAT buttons at the same time, or recirculating the air. Didn't make any difference to the temp in the cabin.
The car has been covered in icy snow for a few days.
Questions:
1) Is it just not heating effectively becuase it's -1° outside? (Seems unlikely to me, although its colder than it has been since I bought it).
2) Could the snow and ice aroud the area at the bottom of the windscreen where the windscreen wipers are be blocked with icy snow, causing some air inlet somewhere not to work?
3) Reading the forums, it's not clear to me whether a 2015 model has a heat pump and a conventional heater, or just a heat pump? I don't know whether my car is an S, or an SL/SV model, and I'm not sure how to find out. Does this make any difference? (I have a Chademo fast charge socket).
Any tips or advice appreciated before my fingers turn blue.
