Peugeot 3008 AC failure

I have a 3008 and had similar symptoms last summer. Was the error code specifically pointing to a compressor fault, or was it more generic?

I wish I could remember the exact code, but it mentioned the compressor and some sort of electrical malfunction. Could that be related to the AC control unit? Did your issue involve that? What does generic error mean in this case?

In my case, the error was indeed caused by a defective air conditioning control unit. It seems this component failing is not uncommon for this model. The diagnostic pointed to the compressor itself, however further testing confirmed that the compressor was not receiving the appropriate signals. I would suggest seeking professional diagnostic confirmation to rule out other potential issues before replacing the compressor. A generic error can result from multiple faults and is not very specific. Replacing this AC control unit at the workshop cost 980€.

Okay, thanks for the info! I took it to a trusted mechanic, and you were spot on - the AC control unit was indeed defective. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it saved me from potentially replacing the compressor unnecessarily!
