Hi
My lever for fresh /recirculated air has become disconnected, is there an easy way to push the flap to the fresh air position manually as I never use the other position.
regards
Colin

Hello Colin

I understand what you want to do, this diagram shows all the options for the heater control panels for the 2011 C3 and it shows cables for some of them. You could try following the cables to the flap but access is so poor in there :cry:

If you are going to the bother of taking it apart and tracing the control cable, you may be better off repairing the fault, particularly if the cable has disconnected from the switch at the control panel end.

There is no indication of which wire does what on the documentation available to me :roll:
