2021 Renault Arkana Hybrid Blower Issues at High Mileage: Seeking Advice and Mechanic Experiences

Hey there, I can totally relate to your situation. Had a similar bout with my 2016 Renault Kadjar not too long ago. The issue was indeed with the blower motor - it was defective. After consulting with a mechanic, turned out that the blower motor had worn out, needed to be replaced altogether! It was somewhat a serious issue considering the motor is quite crucial for the air and heat circulation throughout the car, particularly in extreme weather conditions. My maintenance visit involved a thorough checking of the HVAC system, a few tests to confirm that the blower was the culprit, and finally, the actual job of swapping out the faulty motor. Just a word of advice, make sure your mechanic's looking at the right stuff before diving right into replacing parts. ‘Coz in my case, the issue wasn't just on the surface. It was kinda deep-seated, you know what I mean? Hope that helps and you get your problem sorted out soon!

Hey, thanks a ton for sharing your experience! It really helps to hear someone else's similar mishap. So, you mentioned you had to replace the blower motor in your Kadjar - do you recall how much dough you had to shell out for that? Also, did any new issues pop up afterward or was the replacement a successful fix? Hoping your ride's been smooth since!

Hey, glad to hear my experience could help! When I had the Blower motor replaced on my Kadjar, it did cost me a bit - around 365€ to be exact. A pretty penny indeed, but worth it considering I haven't have a single blower related problem since then. Once my mechanic did his magic, the Fresh air blower's been working as good as new, no new issues cropping up at all. Hope this settles your nerves, and you get your Renault purring smoothly again soon. Best of luck!

Hey, thanks for the helpful response and the reassurance on this. I mentally cringed at the figure you tossed out there, but hey, if it means getting my Arkana to behave properly again without any new issues, I guess it might be worth it. Lesson learnt, always maintain the car regularly to avoid these expensive surprises. I'll follow your advice and ensure that the mechanic checks out everything before getting hands dirty. Fingers crossed my Renault and I will soon be back on the road and out of the garage. Thanks again!
