Problems with overheating and air conditioning in a Citroën DS4 model year 2018

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Citroën DS5, year of manufacture 2016, gasoline engine. I have a bit of experience with cars, but I'm certainly not a professional. My garage found that the "control unit/resistor" of the electric fan was defective. The repair cost 480 euros. With the info you've given, it sounds very much like you might have a similar problem. It would be helpful if you could tell us a bit more about the general condition of your DS4. Can you perhaps say something about the mileage and previous maintenance? That might help us to help you even better.

Hey, thanks for your answer! My DS4 now has about 156,205 kilometers on it. The last service check a few months ago didn't reveal anything unusual. However, I often drive long distances, could that play a role? Your experience with the control unit/resistance of the electric fan sounds very similar, I think it could be the same problem for me. I'll have it checked at the garage and let you know how it goes.

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! I see, that sounds like a lot of mileage, but it shouldn't really be a big problem. Depending on how you drive, this can of course have an effect on wear. But I would say that your symptoms sound very much like a faulty control unit/resistance of the electric fan. In any case, keep us up to date on what comes out of the workshop. If it is, and you have to pay around 480 euros for it, be sure to have the defective parts shown and given to you. Sometimes garages are a bit sloppy and that's just not right. I hope I've been able to help you a little and keep my fingers crossed that it goes quickly and smoothly!

Hey, thanks for the insightful reply and for keeping your fingers crossed. Those are really helpful tips, especially the one about the defective parts. I'll try to put a bit of pressure on the garage. As soon as I've been there and checked the car, I'll give you an update. Once again you can see how useful forums like this are. Thanks again!
