Citroen Xantia Air Con problems

material · Post by **material** » 01 May 2005, 16:35

Hi all!
I have just bought a Citroen Xantia 1.9 TD and the air con doen't work leaving me with huge misting up problems!
I have checked fuses under the steering wheel and next to the battery and all is O.K. there
Any ideas what else I could check before I spend a fortune taking it to a Citroen place to get it fixed would be greatly appreciated
Regards
James West

James, check two things first - the heater control is actually moving the fresh air from recirc to fresh air. The cable is dreadful for bending behind the control panel. The one below the radio. Hence the misting up. Search the forum fro detailed instructions on this one.
Ensure the pollen filter is clean, in the passenger footwell below glove compartment, remove carpet type cover and slide the narrow filter cover off and remove the filter, you see just one narrow edge of it.
If still no change have the aircon serviced, around £60 generally it seems.
Good luck. Robin

I wouldn't go near a Citroen dealer with it.
Have a look in your 'phone book or Yellow Pages, there are loads of air-con specialists.

Why not just spend a bit of time on the Air/con forum at the top of this main forum page?
There's heaps in there on this exact subject.

Ah, a name sake!
Let's keep quiet about heater matrices for the moment shall we...??
