Problem with the fan in the Opel Agila 2013: Possible problems with the air conditioning control unit and tips on how to fix them
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a problem with the fan in a 2013 Opel Agila, suspected to be related to the air conditioning control unit. A similar issue in an Opel Astra was resolved by replacing the A/C control unit, but it is suggested that the problem might also be due to a faulty fan motor or resistor, which would be less costly. Parking the car outside could lead to dirt or moisture affecting the fan, so a workshop check is recommended to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. My Opel currently has 85535 km on it, which is quite a distance for its age. The last service was about six months ago. So far, the air conditioning has been running perfectly, only the fan has been acting up recently. Your experience makes me a little worried that I'm in for a costly repair. But well, if there's no other way... Thanks for your help in any case! LG

Don't worry, it doesn't necessarily have to be an expensive repair. With your mileage, it may well be that only the fan motor itself or the resistor is broken. That would definitely be cheaper than a new air conditioning control unit. It's best to take it to a workshop and have it checked. Maybe it's just a minor problem and you'll be lucky. Is your car often parked outside? Such problems can also be caused by dirt and moisture, especially if the car is often parked outside overnight. That wouldn't be a big deal to fix either. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it won't be that expensive! Glad to hear that I was able to help you. See you then!

Hey, thanks for the encouragement. Yes, my Opel is indeed parked outside quite often as I don't have a garage. Good idea, maybe dirt or moisture has actually accumulated. I will now go to the garage as you advised and have it checked. As I said, I'm hoping for the best! Your tips were very helpful in any case. Thanks again and see you soon! LG

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Opel Astra (built in 2011). I am not a car expert, but I have had some experience with car repairs. In my case, the A/C control unit was faulty, which caused some problems with the fan. I took my car to my trusted garage and replaced the A/C control unit. The repair cost me about 940.0 euros. Could you perhaps provide some more information about your car? What about the mileage and condition of your air conditioning system? I hope I was able to help you a little and look forward to more details so that I can help you even better. Cheers!
