Problems with the air conditioning and overheating in a 2013 Toyota Camry: Possible causes and workshop experiences

Hey, I had a pretty similar problem with my 2015 Toyota Corolla, so I'm no car expert, but I've had quite a bit of experience. Once at the garage, they found that my electric fan "control unit/resistor" was faulty. The repair cost around 480 euros, which was a bit of a pain, but since then everything has been running smoothly again. Can you tell me a bit more about your car details? Maybe then I can help you even better.

Hi, thanks for your help! My Camry now has 75061 KM on the clock. The last service was recently and there were no particular abnormalities. Now, of course, I'm wondering whether I can replace the electric fan myself or whether I should leave it to the garage...

Hey, no problem, happy to help. Basically, you can change the electric fan yourself if you know a bit about cars and have the confidence to do it. However, you really have to look at what you're doing - if you're not quite sure, I would really advise you to leave it to a specialist. From my experience, I also considered changing my electric fan myself, but then decided against it. It was a bit too tricky for me and I didn't want to do anything wrong. I then had the repair done in the workshop, even though it was a bit more expensive. I haven't had any more problems since then. Maybe you could ask your garage if they can check it briefly? That's a good idea anyway before you do it yourself.

Hello, thank you very much for your advice. I think you're right. I'll play it safe and ask my garage if they can check it. It might be a bit more expensive, but at least I'll be on the safe side and won't have to worry about messing anything up during the repair. Thanks again for your help!
