Problems with the air conditioning and overheating in the Opel Mokka 2013 - experiences and solutions
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
An Opel Mokka 2013 owner is experiencing issues with the air conditioning blowing warm air and the car overheating. The suspected cause is a fault with the electric fan or its control unit. A similar issue in an Opel Corsa was resolved by replacing the electric fan control unit, costing around 480 euros. It is advised to have the car checked by a professional to prevent potential engine damage and to inquire if only a small part of the fan needs replacement to save costs.

Hello, thank you for your answer. My dashboard does not display any special messages. And no, I haven't made any changes or repairs recently. The last service was at 96605 km. So far, everything has been going well. You mean it could be the control unit for the electric fan... I think I should have it checked at the garage. Thanks for the tip! 480 euros sounds hefty, but I think it's worth it if it can prevent bigger problems. Thanks again!

Hello, no problem! Yes, it really is better to have such things checked by a professional at an early stage. You don't want to end up with engine damage because the engine overheats. It was a few years ago with my Corsa, but it cost me over 3000 euros, so 480 euros to repair the electric fan is almost a bargain. Sure, it's still a lot of money, but if you look at it in perspective, you can avert major damage. And it's always better to be on the safe side! Another tip: Ask the garage if they can give you the old fan to check. Sometimes only a small part is defective and can be replaced instead of replacing the whole fan. This could also save you a few euros! Hopefully I've been able to help you and I'll keep my fingers crossed that your Mokka will soon be running smoothly again. See you then!

Hi, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your advice! Of course I don't have the budget for an engine failure and I agree with you that 480 euros is a bargain compared to over 3000 euros. Your tip about asking for the old fan is great! I will definitely take that into consideration. Your advice has helped me a lot and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the workshop can rectify the fault quickly. See you then and thanks again!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Opel Corsa. I'm not a car specialist, but I've had to deal with it a few times. I had to take my Corsa to the garage because the "control unit" of the electric fan was defective. The whole thing cost me around 480 euros. What exactly does your dashboard display? It would also be helpful to know if you have made any changes or repairs to your car recently? This information could help us to help you a little more accurately. See you then!
