Hello,
The blower on the C3 (2003 1.4 SX petrol) has been noisy for a good while on the higher settings, hard to describe but like a rhythmic thrumping noise. This morning it got worse, now it sounds like a tappety old Talbot Horizon (or a machine gun) even on the lower settings. Looking in the BOL doesn't appear much of a job to take a look but car is constantly in use and it will be next sunday before I can take a look. Does anyone know if the unit is serviceable in any way or if by any chance its the same as a xantia (as I have a spare).
Thanks
Mark

Re: C3 Blower Machine Gun
i would think the impelar has split/broken,
looking on service citroen you have to remove the glove box to gain access to the motor,
and it is different to the XANT

Re: C3 Blower Machine Gun
On my C5 the flap in one of the dash vents does that if it's in a particular place, the air passing through makes it flutter and it sounds as you say like a machine gun.
