If you can hear the accumulator clicking more than once in very 20 seconds, the sphere needs changing.

The spheres often look new! If they have the Citroen symbol on them, then they are original factory parts. Replacements should have the manufacture date on them in black microdots. It is always good to replace all the spheres if you can. Substituting new ones for old ones will indicate if the old ones are getting tired. By doing this, the ride quality should be exactly the same as when the car was new.

If you can't get any hot air, check the linkage of the temperature control. Sometimes, an airlock in the cooling system will cause this problem in the heater matrix. There are bleed valves on the top of the radiator, and on top of the engine. If you have air-conditioning/climate control, the temperature selector control may be faulty.
