My car is a 2001 206CC, 2L. It is fitted with climate control. Reading past entries on here, I fear for my heater motor!
It seems to work, but it has a life of its own, speeding up and slowing down as it likes, I have some control with the + and - switch, but I'm not sure how it is supposed to react.
Is there a definative guide on how the climate system is supposed to work correctly? the handbook is next to useless!
Thanks in advance. Rich

If it has a mind of its own then the fan is on its last legs.

I have climate control too, and the manual is reasonably clear on how it works. (In AUTO mode) it controls the fan speed (among other things) to give the desired airflow and temperature. So it WILL go up and down as needed, after all this is the whole point of climate control over air conditioning.
Pressing the fan + or - button takes the fan speed out of auto mode and allows you to manually set the fan speed, to one of 8 available settings. To back into auto fan speed mode, press AUTO.

See above description, it SHOULD "have a mind of its own".

If the fan speed is up and down like a yo-yo then there is a problem. If the fan changes speed gradually then all is fine. It shouldn't go from slow to fast all of a sudden though, changes will be gradual.
As soon as the + or - button is used by the driver the climate control is switched off and control is returned to the user.

If I press the "DEMIST" button, should the fan come on at full speed?
