Cold Air Blowing

[dunc]

i have a new model c5 2.0hdi exclusive estate - march 2005. last october when air temperatures dropped i noticed cold air dropping from under the steering column - as cold as the outside air temp. after several trips to dealer they agreed there was cold air and passed it to citroen for a fix. 12 months on the stance from citroen is its a characteristic not a fault. i paid for climatecontrol and its like driving with the window open! uk say its with france. i'm told that they have cars on their fleet with same problem! i cant face another winter like this. anyone else got this problem? you will know if you have believe me - when its minus 2 outside dont plan for a family.. odd thing is as soon as i hit recycle cabin air the cold air stops instantly. only problem with that is i suffocate through lack of oxygen! anyone help?

Only thing I can suggest is experiment with the ventilation settings.

if i have air coming out of the middle vent on my 02 Climate control Estate it is cold, fresh outside air, however, if I only use up and down, then the climate control works pretty well!!!

 

God, these cars are quirky!!!!!

My 02 C5 2.2 HDi Exclusive seems to be doing the same thing, on the face vents only, outside air is coming in no matter what i do with the temp guage apart from putting it on 28

Exactly the same problem with my January 2005 2.0 HDI Exclusive Estate.

 

Great car though.

i had this problem with my 2001 c5 2.0 hdi.

it was due to the outside temperature sensor being faulty.

it was showing that it was 102 degrees outside at xmas with ice on the windscreen.

the only way to get heat was to turn it up to 28.

after i had the sensor in the mirror changed it worked fine.
