Partner AC and Temperature Sensor Issue

Hey, I'm having a weird problem with my 2004 Peugeot Partner (gasoline engine). I'm getting an error stored, plus an error message in the speedometer, and the air conditioning won't switch on. My mechanic thinks it's a defective temperature sensor heat exchanger, possibly caused by a bad air conditioning control unit. Anyone else run into this? I'm looking at almost 1000€ to fix it!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I have a Partner too. I was having similar issues with my AC not working, and weird error messages popping up. Did you check for any coolant leaks? I know it sounds basic, but sometimes it's the simple stuff that throws us off. Is the engine cooling working properly?

Coolant levels seem okay, and no visible leaks. Engine temp seems normal too. Was your problem also related to the temperature sensor, or something else entirely? Did you need a sensor calibration?

Turns out, yeah, it was the temp sensor causing all sorts of havoc! Honestly, after a while, I just took it to the workshop. Best decision I made. They sorted it quickly. Might be worth doing the same before you end up chasing ghosts. Cooling system issues can be a real pain!

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right, it was the temperature sensor. They replaced it, recalibrated everything, and now the AC is working again and no more error messages! Cost me 980€ in the end. Ouch, but at least it's fixed!
