How do you get it past the heater pipes I looked at on today and I couldn’t get it passed the heater pipes

There is 3 more screws on the bottom and side of glove box...

Hi, I watched all the videos available for the blower motor resistor on RUclips so I opened the black cap with a flat screwdriver and saw on the the inside a transistor, I checked the number and saw it was a mosfet and it tested short circuit between the drain and source of the mosfet, I bought a replacement mosfet at my nearest electronics store and soldered it in and the issue was fixed, I didn't have to spend all that money on a new one, it was a really cheap fix, converting it back to British pound it was 0.84 pounds sterling for the part, it works 100% now, just sharing some info if someone has basic electronic skills and want to rather fix it. Good luck

Appreciate you

Thanks for the video. I can confirm it is possible to do this without removing the glove box or other interior trim, although it is mightily awkward. Purchased a replacement from GSF Car Parts - a genuine MAHLE component rather than something off eBay. Worked a dream and saved me a mint.

Ehehehehhee

Hi Harrison trust you are well. Thanks for this posting (I'm using this on 12th Nov 2022). you should do more . I like your simplicity and direct approach. Pete on the IOW.

How do I get that out the fan resistor as I can't seem to get it tia

Whats the symptoms? My blower works fine as it should but they have never blown as hot is i would of expected. Had the car 3 years now and its always been like this cam belt water pump has been done and no heat gasket issues and car gets up to temperature ok and has never over heated… its just the blowers have always been luke warm and never actually get hot enough inside the car to ever really need to switch them off

Wow, that really turned out quite great! I’m thinking about getting some clip-ons for my glasses and as there are somehow no cases for clip ons for sale in Europe it, I will maybe try to “diy” one…

Thanks for sharing very useful video

Cool

Is it the same reciter on the diesel mpv c3 2009 please as on the petrol model cheers

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Realy helpful. Removing glovebox requires certain amount more tugging than on yours. So for anyone else, There are 2 screws and 3 plastice trim clips under the glovebox, and three across the top of th eglove box, the rest is just tugging to free the retianing clips. Did snap one of th eclips off, but glovebox went back in afterwards and screws hold it back in place. To remove the fan resister i did need to remove the wire connector and then get some grips in to get the turning force - it moves no more than a tenth of a turn. Fans now running properly again. Could not have done this without the video, and instead would have ended up sepnding £100+ at the garage, rather than £18 for the replacement part and < 1 hour of time.

Excellent video but I second that you do not need to remove the glovebox!

Bit rough bud 🥺

Thanks for the video! It helped me to solve the problem with the fan

Hello there (Helpful video) My citreon c3 (2004 reg) makes a clicking noise each time the AC is on turned on. I came across an article that mentioned that the usual cause is the stepper motor gear missing a tooth, this moves the diverter flap and is a common fault. Would you know what is causing this and what i need to do exactly please. The AC also blows hot air and only works at times not all the time. please help.

My 2010 C3 Climate has gone, just stopped from one second to the other... The Dealer wants to replace the whole assembly (1000quid) another garage just the entire fusebox (300quid). Don't know how to proceed. Like to find the cause (cause none of the two dealers told me the real cause...). Anyone Anyidea? appreciated and thanks.

I loved your case, I'm a woman and my pockets are small hahaha so, I need a small case. Very nice project

The bug man, the bug...

hi is the c3 heater resistor in the same location as the ds3 one

My wife's DS3 blower was on all the time. I couldn't remove the glove box but managed to replace the resistor by removing the trim under glove box and the small bit of trim next to it (1 screw). Very fiddley but can be done. Blower now works normally.

Thanks for the info, I'm guessing the C5 is very similar to the C3?

my blower,working, is on full all the time .....do I need to replace the resistor .....???

Thanks for the video, really helpful. Greetings from France ;)

Nice job. Must have been an unbelievable pain to forge that out with that tiny carpenter's hammer. I don't like criticizing things, but I would like to mention that if you were aiming for a rounding hammer like the kind Alec Steele makes, that round dye has quite the sharp radius; it's not necessary for something like that. It'll work plenty well as a ball pien, though, and the flat side has nothing wrong with it at all!

Your anvil is traveling. :-) Before, with the small hammer was trouble. Now is better, but make one more heavier hammer for power and faster work. Good luck!

looks easy thanks as my fan not working on my Citroen c 3 . any tips on water dripping on roof. soft top

That is impressive. I have been blacksmithing, as a hobby, for about 20 years, and have worked and talked with many other smiths, and I can count, on one hand, the number who have tried to make their own hammer. I have make many of my tools, but never a hammer. It is just not usually worth the time, effort and frustration that it takes to make one. I have also enjoyed watching your hammer work on camera. Many videos show the steps but leave out much of the work during the steps. Nice job... looking forward to seeing what is next.

Nice job there, I wince seeing that claw hammer though lol. A simple 2.5lbs cross peen or engineers hammer will make you so much happier and your wrist, elbow, and shoulder will thank you. Just a bit of advice, make sure to test a piece to see the effects of both water and oil hardening (assuming you're using unknown steels), I make drifts from old jack hammer bits. You can get these at supply places or scrap yards, just ask if the supply place has worn out and used up bits (They normally chuck them out). Those bits tend to be in the S7 category.

Do yourself a favor and pick up the 3lb Czech hammer from Blacksmith Depot, for years I used a rounding hammer and now that I use the Hofi Style hammer and method it's saving me a lot of grief.

Hi yes all undone , tugged fairly aggressive but it's not budging ?

undone all the screws but the glove box will not budge after a bloody good tug
