few threads on here about fuses blowing when using them in cold temps.

Your probably right, the fuse concerned only serves the washers... I believe from memory that it is F3 a 10a fuse (blue) and is in the fuse box under the bonnet (next to the battery)...It has been a problem that several have experienced in the freezing weather.

ok cheers mate i need to look closer, i have just read all new posts since last visit and nothin came up.
thanks again

Got the fuse out today and yes it has blown,
I've noticed they are micro fuses I've never seen before do I need to go the dealers or can you get these from helfrauds?

[John S]

No idea to be certain, I would think that they should be freely available

have you not got a motor discount shop? be cheaper than halfords

[Gazmdm]

Nothin in Runcorn,
not to worried about price as they can't be much it's just I've never seen this type of fuse and was wondering if I need to go the dealers

The fuse you should get is a 15amp mini blade fuse most motor factors would have these partco maybe Halfords etc I would advise to drain the washer bottle and fill with only screenwash no water and upgrade the fuse im a parts manager at a citroen garage we have done this mod for a couple years and we dont really see the customer back for it to get re-done. i have fuses in stock if you cant get any where your based. Hope this helps.

I blew my washer fuse 2 days ago. Went to my dealer and purchased 3 new one at £1.18 each. Working fine now

It was a small red fuse with 10 written on top. I guess thats the amp.

[John Nicol]

The fuses should only be 65p each did you pay £1.18 each??? Yes it would be a 10amp

Yeah thats how much they charged me for each one.

[John Nicol]

Nah they have over charged you then 10 amp fuse is only 65p part number 6999S3 the citroen retail price is 56P + VAT it would apper that they have set the retail price at 1.00 +vat each very poor!!!!!!!

Meh, funnily enough, mine ain't working at the minute either, although this is something I've requested to be looked at on Monday during it's service. Got a mate with a C3 and his is the same. Must be a cack fault from their end!
