Seeking Advice on Handling Issues with Blower, Warning Light, and Possible Faulty Solar Sensor in 2019 Dacia Duster

Blower does not work properly

Insufficient Cooling/Heating

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey! I've been having a bit of trouble with my 2019 Dacia Duster, gasoline model. It's been acting up lately - the blower isn't in tip-top shape, it's struggling with both cooling and heating, plus there's a pesky warning light that keeps popping up on the speedometer. I'm thinking this might all be linked to a faulty solar sensor, but I'm really keen to get some more ideas. Anyone experienced the same? How did you get it sorted out with your workshop? Thanks in advance for any advice, really appreciate it!

Hey there, Funny you should mention this, I had a similar situation with my 2017 Dacia Logan. To give you a bit of context, I'd say I've got some experience dealing with car issues - far from a pro, but I know to check the oil and tire pressure, that sort of stuff. So, when my Dacia started acting up, the issue was actually the wiring harness - quite different from a faulty sensor. Took it to my trusty workshop and they did a fantastic job, got it sorted for €155.0. But before we assume it's the same issue, can you share any more details? Mileage, any prior issues etc, might help us nail down the problem. Cheers!

What's up, Great to hear from someone who went through a similar fuss! So, I got 87540 km on the clock. My last service was back when I hit 80000 km. Whenever I take it for a spin, the cooling and heating just feel off, as if the car can't decide whether it's too hot or too cold. I haven't had any issues with it before, so it's been really smooth sailing up until now. Thanks again for the help!

Hey! Thanks for the additional insights! It could very much still be the sensor - improper temperature sensing might definitely screw with the blower operation. Your mileage is pretty standard for a 2019 model, so I wouldn't be too worried about wear and tear yet. Still, another possible culprit could be the HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. Leaks in the system could affect heating and cooling efficiency; you might want to have that checked. Also, regarding the warning light, it's hard to tell without knowing which exact one it is. More often than not, a diagnostic scan at a service center can quickly identify the issue. My two cents? Take it to a nearby service center. Be sure to have them check the solar sensor, wiring harness, and HVAC system. Let me know how it goes! Keep safe!

Hey there, That's golden advice right there! The HVAC system is something I didn't even consider. And you're absolutely right, I should get a diagnostic scan - I just hate the sight of that warning light. I'll book an appointment at the service centre first thing tomorrow. Can't thank you enough! Stay awesome!
