Greetings everyone!
I've been an owner (and also a member of this forum) of a lovely 2.2 C6 (2007) for 5 years.

Few days ago the A/C suddenly stopped blowing cold air on passenger side. Also the rear compartment blower hasn't been working properly for a long time (the blower is not turning on most of the time). I checked the A/C status trough Diagbox and the flaps motors are working properly, showing no errors. The only unusual component is the passenger side's blown air temperature which is showing -34,8 C.

There are few topics on the forum which have discussed this issue, but all of them hint toward broken flaps. I don't think this is the issue in my case because, when set at low temperature, the passenger side is blowing "normal" interior or exterior air, but when I set it to high temperature it starts blowing heated, hot air.

Can somebody pinpoint the location of the faulty sensor, or maybe hint towards a different solution?

The temperature sensor is on the side of the unit. If you're lucky you'll be able to get to it from below the glovebox otherwise you'll need to remove it.

Thank you for answer. I presume the sensor product code is 6445VC, correct?

Unfortunately after removing the glovebox I wasn't able to find the sensor, only the flaps motors were visible. After checking next to the pedals I was able to find what I recon to be the 6445 TZ sensor, but not the VC sensor.





Mine is a LHD maybe in your comment you were referring to a RHD model?

I'm also due to replace the sensor and am currently looking for a way to replace it without removing the center console.

If you managed to change it, could you explain how you achieved it?

I have similar misleading measures, namely the passenger side temperature minus very low was actually not installed outside temp sensor, there is a hole in left hand version on right side in mirror, so what I am aiming, that probably this is broken flap may be.

Remove the servo and check if there is visible flap
