Hads my 3.2 missing parts?!
Hi my 85 3.2 Carrera engine looks doiferent from some others; as you look in to the engine bay other cars seem to have a plastic shroud on the left side at the top (nearside). Mine doesn't have this sorry for my limited knowledge.

I think you mean the heater part that comes from the hotair blower. Maybe the p.o backdated the heating system. Post a pic of you engine bay and we will have a look for you

The car can still have the auto heat controls and be backdated.

Like Matthew said could be the servo or maybe it,s just a loose connection inside the box. The servo makes enough noise to hear it operating. Can you hear something from the box when you switch on the heating ?

It's tucked away so can't check but I don't think so.

take the four allen bolts out at the sides of the box and check connections and offcourse check fuses first.

Could you take a picture of you engine. I know what part you say you are missing but im trying to see if a PO had installed a different type of heat system. The only way I can tell is if you post a pic of the engine bay.
