Technical information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën/Peugeot)
- Model: Citroën C4 II (B7)
- Product codes: T1008542J, 6452V9, 6452W1
- Other numbers: No additional numbers available
Fitment
Fits Citroën C4 II (B7) models—commonly found on second‑generation C4 vehicles. Always check the product codes when selecting the replacement to ensure the correct variant for dashboards with cable‑operated HVAC controls.
Function
This module controls temperature selection and airflow routing in the cabin. On cable‑operated versions it transmits driver inputs via control cables to blend doors and flap actuators, while also operating the fan speed selector and recirculation/AC functions through its switches and potentiometers. A properly functioning control ensures predictable cabin comfort and correct interaction with the HVAC system.
Installation recommendations
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and to protect electrical components.
- Remove surrounding trim and center console panels carefully to access the control unit; retain all screws and clips in order for reassembly.
- Note the routing and attachment points of the control cables before removal—marking positions helps with correct reinstallation and prevents cable binding.
- Unplug electrical connectors and gently unclip cables from their levers. Avoid pulling on wiring or cable outer housings.
- Install the new unit in reverse order. Check that cables move smoothly and that knobs/switches operate all functions through the full travel without binding.
- After installation, verify fan speeds, temperature regulation and air direction in all positions. Adjust cable free play if necessary.
Most common failure reasons
- Mechanical wear: plastic levers and rotary switches can wear or break after years of use, leading to loss of function or intermittent operation.
- Cable deterioration: control cables may stretch, seize or fray, causing poor response or inability to move blend doors properly.
- Electrical wear and contamination: worn potentiometers, dirty contacts or corrosion on the PCB from moisture ingress can cause erratic behavior or complete failure.
- Impact or vandalism: broken knobs or damaged housings from improper handling when operating the unit.
Replacing the climate control with a correctly coded and fitted unit returns reliable, repeatable HVAC operation—important for workshop efficiency and driver comfort. Use the product codes listed above to match the correct replacement part.
