Hi all, I have a 2017 C4 picasso 1.6bluehdi eat6. I've notice that if I select all air vent positions (windscreen, cabin and feet) the drivers cabin blower is super weak and can barely feel air coming out, even on maximum fan. The climate control is on manual and the auto fan setting is set to fast (doesn't do anything for manual mode I don't think). With all vents open and max fan output, the middle vents are slightly more powerful than the drivers side. Is this normal? I don't think the air filter needs changed because I don't smell any exterior fumes, even cigarette smoke is filtered out. |

whats it like if you put it in full auto? if you put it on all directions at once it might be fighting against itself, I have never tried it but air flow in my 2014 2.0 bluehdi is good but I tend to leave it on auto and just turn the compressor on or off. Richard |

If you can't audibly hear it on full blast (windscreen demist button maybe) - the odds are the fan motor has packed up .. Had it recently on my mid 2016 C4GP. Seems the windscreen scuttle drains overfill, and when it overflows past the filters, it hits the fan motor and burns it out ... fairly common unfortunately (mine was done under warranty, but ymmv) |

Richard In auto, the car just chucks the air out on the cabin vents as its the most effecient to change the ambient temperature. So the airflow is pretty good. But if I introduce the feet vents, or window vents... The air flow from the cabin vents whittle down to almost nothing. Even in max fan. |

I know the filter is a total ballache but it's a necessary step. I had a qashqai before this, and the max fan setting produced a lot more noise than the C4P. |

Saying that the airflow is pretty c r a p on C4 GPs. I had a second car ford fiesta 2006 model, you cannot take a breath if your face is in front of the air vent and the fan speed is at 3 (not even full speed at 4). It was an unbelievably strong gust of air. When I compare that with my C4 GP, it is shockingly under power considering the size of the cabin. |

My C4P is in the garage at the moment and my hire car is a 2018 fiesta. The blower on this thing is epic and I can confirm it's like sticking your head out the window 🤣. The rear passenger vents on the C4P are what you'd expect from an air vent. But I think these have their own fan. So, the weak fan is a feature of the C4P's. I suppose the air doesn't need to reach the rear seeing as they've got their own at the back. Still annoying AF. |
