GrandlandX Hybrid Blower Issues: DIY Fix Guide Needed

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2019 Vauxhall Crossland X Hybrid last winter. I've got some experience working on cars (though I'm no expert), and this one had me scratching my head too. The symptoms sounded just like yours, turned out to be a faulty servomotor cable. Took it to my local workshop, and they sorted it out pretty quickly. Cost me around 170€ for the fix. Now everything's working like a charm! What's the mileage on your GrandlandX? Also, are you noticing any unusual sounds when you switch between ventilation settings? This info might help narrow down if it's the same problem I had. Let me know, happy to share more details about my repair experience if it helps! Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Mine's at 62506 KM and just had its service last month. Yeah, I'm actually hearing a slight clicking noise when switching between settings, especially on the higher fan speeds. Did your repair involve any diagnostic tests before they found the issue? Just wondering if I should expect similar costs or if it might be something different in my case. Thanks for the help!

Hey again! Yeah, the clicking sound you're describing sounds very familiar! In my case, they did run some diagnostic tests first, took about an hour or so. The clicking was exactly what I had too, especially when switching to the higher settings. Actually, with my Crossland (now at 89000 KM), they initially thought it might be the flap like you suspected, but the diagnostic showed it was definitely the servomotor cable. The tests ran me about 60€, but they deducted that from the final repair cost when they fixed it. One thing I learned from my experience, if you're hearing that clicking, don't wait too long to get it checked. I did, and it started getting worse, especially during cold mornings. The repair costs should be pretty similar to what I paid since it's basically the same system in both our cars. Quick tip: before you take it in, try all the different ventilation settings and make a note of exactly when you hear the clicking. That really helped the mechanics pinpoint the issue faster with mine. Keep me posted on what you find out! Always curious to hear if it's the same issue I dealt with. Cheers!

Thanks so much for all the detailed info! This is really helpful, especially the tip about documenting when the clicking happens. I'll definitely make notes before taking it in. You're right about not waiting too long, I've noticed it's getting a bit more noticeable in the mornings, just like you mentioned. I'll schedule it for next week at my local workshop and make sure they run those diagnostics first. The costs sound reasonable, especially if they'll deduct the diagnostic fee from the final repair. Really hoping it's just the servomotor cable like yours! I'll update the thread once I get it sorted. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it's made me feel a lot more confident about getting this fixed! Thanks again!
