Drivers Side Temperature Problem

[joemac666]

I knew when I got the car there was a problem with this its just that its now colder weather lol.  I've read a few threads but they all seem to be a bit different.  The problem is the drivers side temperature does not change temperature on either hi or low and anything in between.  2005 c5 estate 2.2 auto exclusive.

 

The blower blows fantastic and does everything it should.  Passenger side works perfectly through all the range from really cold to really hot.  I keep it on auto with the passenger seting at hi and it sort of stops it blowing full cold air out one vent and the car does warm up.  Its more of a pain than anything and if its dash out I'll just forget about it.  Am I right in saying there is a motor I could replace which is on the drivers side bottom motor which is broken?

10. The air conditioning only gives cold air at one side or does not cool much.

The evaporator matrix cooling the air on the C5 is long and if the amount of refrigerant is low then there will not be enough to cool all the matrix for both sides of the cabin. First step should be a regass then if that does not work and there are no leaks then look at replacing the air flap control motors. A regass may be about £50, a flap new motor about £60. It could also be damage to the air flap shaft motor fitting - see this post http://www.citroen-o...c5-2002-aircon/ . I had to have both C5s regassed when about 7 years old, on the second one there was a printout that showed there was only 93 g of refrigerant left and that 525 g were put back in yet the air con was working and gas could be heard going through the pressure control valve but the air was not cooling much.

 

The heater parts can be seen under Electric Unit/Comfort and Convenience/Heating Air Conditioning/Heater Detail. The temperature control flap motors are 6447RJ but check using your VIN.
