Citroen C3 cabin fan repair

How to repair a C3 cabin fan

[@Shaunyboi6969]

My man I owe you a beer! I was quoted 300-500 for this to be fixed and £25 and watching your video and it's fixed!!

[@shah5647]

Hey can you send me link for where you brought it from ?

[@seaswest6389]

Thank you. Rather that take my wife's old C3 to the garage to get the fan repaired, I got off my fat arse and followed your video. 10 minutes later and all was done and back to 100% working. A+++

Well-made video and very informative, Had the same water problem. Water got into car thought the fan duct, soak my carpets as well. Air motor just died, So I clean the water drain out and unblocked the pipes of leaves debris which had turn to mud. Paper towelled the carpet. Then I used Dehumidifier Crystals on the dashboard for three days. It dried out all the Condensation on the car windows, which kept me driving, and on the third day the fan started working again. Crystals only cost a £1 nice cheap fix. One last thing, run the heater to dry the thing out. Could save a few quid.

Thank you so much been driving in the cold having to have the windows downs because car keeps steaming up for 2 weeks now. Had quotes for £100-£150 too close to Christmas to get it done. Seen this video yesterday 21/12/2020 ordered the part of line next day delivery now we have a warm car can't thank this video maker enough

[@raj613100]

lifesaver! went to the mechanic, who said it would be £100-150. just saved me so much and did it quite easily

[@steveufton4669]

Brilliant video showing all aspects of why the fan might not be working. A great job with no faffing around.

[@TheFatwelder]

It also depends on which model you have, mine was located on the passeger side.Also take the old one out to make sure you order the right one, despite being assured by several sites, it still turned out to be the wrong one.

[@alexandraozolua-asije6139]

Thank u so much, this helped me a lot , bought it on amazon for £15.99 and fixed it in less than 15mins

[@kevinraymond7532]

Before ordering a new resistor pack, it's worth jiggling the connector about and checking the terminals aren't corroded. On my C3 (2004 1.4i petrol) the fan started running slowly and making a noise, then would cut out altogether - cleaned the connector terminals and wiggled it about, and now it's working perfectly again!

[@jorgociko579]

How did you cleaned it ? The corroded part?

[@kevinraymond7532]

@@jorgociko579 it was just the electrical connector - cleaned with a little steel wool and some solvent.

Thanks a lot, worked a treat, really appreciate your video 👍👏

Hi… is the top screw hard to remove? I can see the bottom screw but not the top one that it says to remove.

[@colletteworley228]

Great video short and to the point, i will now go and try to fix my fan

[@eduardcarlescu484]

Ive got a similar problem, but mine keeps blowing as soon as you turn the car on and won’t shut off. Would it still be to do with the resistor?

[@rewardingrepairs7872]

May have gone open circuit so it won't turn off. Yes go for it

[@bertopereira1625]

great video ! where is location on citroen c2 1.4 hdi?

[@homefinder2478]

On a left hand drive car the resistor is on the passenger side, not the driver side. Great video, thanks

[@badnan1778]

Do you know how to reach it on lhd vehicles? I've been trying for 2 days and I can't seem to get to it.

[@sutra28]

I just fixed my fan because of your video.Thanks very much!

[@predragmargitin6196]

hvala na dobrom videu.Ja jutros promenio na mom citroenu c3 i sad ventilator radi super.

[@enescolovic8226]

Kako se naziva ovaj deo?

[@badnan1778]

Kako si došao do njega? Ja stvarno ne znam vise sta da probam

[@ThyagoDrummer]

Thanks a lot! Very helpful!

[@micks489]

How did you reach the top T20 screw from top as I can't even see the top T20 screw

[@micks489]

Luckily wasn't a top screw attached so very easy replacement

[@elizabethmatthews5179]

Thank you just did mine can't believe how easy it was! Saved me taking it to the garage fixed for under £25 with a new air filter!

[@mike311271]

hi mate will this work for citroen c3 03 lx, fan just stoped blowing

[@mesbahsina3134]

Thanks for sharing your experience. My car have exactly the same problem. It helps me a lot.

[@juliedavie835]

I have a Citroen c2 would it be the same principal of replacing it and will it be in the same place mine is only working on the high setting

[@rewardingrepairs7872]

Just take a look, it’s not hard

[@juliedavie835]

@@rewardingrepairs7872 hi I done it amazing I now have all settings on my heater Thanks

I have the same problem on a 2003 Peugeot 206, could it be the same thing? Thx

Thank you so much mate!

Thanks so helpful ❤

What I start the car there's a clicking noise go on for about 2...3 minutes then goes off

[@susangillespie464]

My Citroen C3 is pretty old - 2006 (automatic). Is the fan resistor likely to be in the same location as the one in the video? I took my car to an auto repair today and they quoted me £600 minimum. They said the part alone costs £300 then labour on top would be around £300 - £400. My car is too old to spend that sort of money on this.

[@rewardingrepairs7872]

Just take a look and watch the video alongside. I think it should be if it’s not the Picasso which I believe is slightly different. It’s worth looking first before you order a rectifier.

[@drewclose3747]

It's in the same spot just looks a little different in the 2006 model

[@shauncooney6208]

@@rewardingrepairs7872 Hi - liked the video thank you :-) I've a similar fault on my 2009 C3 Picasso (sometimes works; sometimes dead as a nit). Could you tell me where this is on the Picasso please? Thanks in advance.

Mulțumesc mult!

I got a c3 2010. Does anyone know if it is the same process.

Can anybody help help with my handbrake after I have released it and pull away I get a beep telling me that my handbrake is still on but I don’t have any warning lights come up on my dash . I have six clicks when putting handbrake on plz help it’s driving me insaine

[@rewardingrepairs7872]

Sounds like a sticky pop out switch to me, not popping out. Wd40 in the switch might free it up. Switch should be under bottom section of handbrake pivot, easy to get at as if it’s a C3 the plastic covers just pop off (also allows access for handbrake adjustment). Still stuck I’ll make a vid

[@kevinraymond7532]

Are you sure it's the handbrake warning? If it is, the warning light should come on. When I first had my C3 it beeped like this - it turned out to be the speed warning buzzer (which I didn't even know I had). For some reason it was set at about 3mph!

[@tommymccloud2881]

in my Case it will Work sometimes, and Sometimes not. >Same Issue< ?

[@patrickellis1562]

Mine was sporadic like yours. One day working the next not. Changed the resistor and it now works all the time. Cheap off Amazon 👍🏼
