Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Thanks to Richard's help, found a short circuit to ground and I have now solved the problem.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2003 MY C4 with climate control. Problem- Intermittent failure of temperature flap to switch to delivering air conditioned air. Durametric and PST both say failure of temperature flap valve motor. What I've done already - Air-con checked and re-charged and found to be working fine. Replaced temperature flap valve motor Checked free movement of temperature flap Lubricated all pivots of connecting arms from motor to flap Checked electrical connector If I zip the temperature up to high, then back to low and back a couple of times it seems to put things back on track, but not always, resulting in some rather hot journeys when all incoming air is directed past the heat exchanger!!! Anybody got any other ideas to solve this irritating problem?[&o]

POST 2Original post

Do you have the actual fault code number? If so, I could look it up and send you the diagnostic sheet. Drop me an email with the number if you have it.
