Let's not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of the Citroen Osmose. Heating and air conditioning are devices that offer the possibility of lowering or increasing the air temperature. The very first by way of the heat emitted from the engine, and the other with a fluid refrigerant . The famous ventilation, it is the totality of the circuits and mechanisms which give the possibility of the air to reach inside the vehicle. The essential element is the kicker which sends air into your cabin. If there is very little or no air, this is probably a ventilation problem. We will see in this article how ventilation works, so as to better perceive the problems and assimilate by what means to remedy them.
How ventilation works on a Citroen Osmose
Ventilation first of all serves to regenerate the air inside the passenger compartment of the Citroen Osmose. For the blower, the latter usually consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The lower the total resistance of the electrical system, the faster the turbine operates. By turning the button in the vehicle, the resistance is reduced.
Citroen Osmose: usual ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
If the ventilation ever works but a small amount of air arrives in the passenger compartment of the Citroen Osmose, it is likely that these air shutters are obstructed. With the aid of screwdriver flat, it is possible to remove the valves from the air vents. It will suffice to check inside if these are blocked. When this is the case it is possible to scour them, but also the shutters.
Dirty cabin filter
When you see effluxes and the ventilation lacks intensity, the problem must undoubtedly come from the cabin filter of the Citroen Osmose. It becomes clogged and accumulates bacteria with time. It is completely normal that this one is dirty, it serves to clarify the air which reaches us. There is no manufacturer's recommendation as to when to change it. We only advise you to remove it, check its condition. If it is particularly dirty, it will be necessary to replace it.
Resistance of the blower HS
If the ventilation setting of your Citroen Osmose ever goes wrong, or even really not, it is probably due to the resistance. The resistance is used to increase the voltage in order to increase the speed of this turbine. Inconsistent ventilation dysfunction may be related to a resistance problem. This microchip is complex to troubleshoot. It will have to be replaced.
HS blower motor
There are two relatively regular problems with the kicker. The brushes are worn. The more time passes, they can wear out and cause false contact. Your ventilator may run haphazardly, or may not activate at all. It also happens that the problem stems from bearings of the fan motor. If the ventilation whistles, such as a rusty mechanic, the bearings may lack lubrication. Feel free to comment on this article if your problem is different to help users. Good walk!
