Blower only works on full speed. Have bought replacement unit, but the citroen garage gave wrong info on how to access the resistor. Need diagram of heater system to see where the unit is fitted. Can any one help.

Never done one but Internet tells me you remove the fan motor and can then see the resistor can not 100 percent be sure of this info.but it may be correct

I did the job about two years ago and it goes as follows;

Remove the glove compartment and the cover over the footwell;

The heater Fan is held in position in the now exposed area by 4 or 5 screws;

It is somewhat tight to extract it but take it gently and you will be able the get it to drop down;

When you have it down disconnect the power supply leas from it;

Remove the Motor from the plastic housing;

you will then be able to see the Resistors and un-solder the old ones out of position;

Solder the replacement units back in position and then do the reverse of the above items to reinstall it in the Car.

I think I may have a document on this somewhere and if I can find same I will upload it.

on a 2001 petrol 1.8 ....remove glove box....remove blower motor....reach inside heater ducting.....the resistor is on the top of the ducting at arms length....you have to twist it out if housing and remove cables with one hand....its tricky but can be done.
