edatelder Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 How many vent fans are there on a 2002 TDi with climate control? The output from mine is really low. But one fan (if there are more than one) is working, albeit slowly. With this cold weather now, the engine takes 10 miles, 15 minutes, to warm up enough to start any air output worth mentioning. Driving is a cold experience in winter! (Aux heater not working either). Should I check the fan fuses? Fan access is nigh on impossible behind the dash.On screen demist, or fan manual control, or HI temp or LO temp the fan works at full speed; but at 20, 21 degrees there's hardly any air flow. Could the controller be faulty? Quote
insider Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 I'm not sure whether vehicles with climate control have a resistor pack but this might help - http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...st&p=133196. Quote
Audiman Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 If your fan doesn't work on setting 1 & 2 - more than likely your resistor pack has failed for the heater/fan speed. It's worth changing for your fault as a starting point - approx Quote
seatkid Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 No resistor packs on climate control. Fan speed is controlled electronically (PWM). Its normal for fan speeds to be low when engine temperatures are low or when cabin temperatures are near equilibrium. Poorly designed software. Pump the speed setting button(s) to maximum and the fan speeds should ramp to maximum. Sometimes the software gets confused (esp in ECON mode), and requires engine to be turned off on to reset. Sometimes low air flow is due to a blocked pollen filter. Quote

It's snowing tonight and hardly any air/heat is coming through. I was thinking about the pollen filter. Could the heater matrix also be blocked as its 6 years old. Would a flushing fluid in the radiator help? Edited October 28, 2008 by edatelder Quote
Bigjeeze Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 I would also add that if your Aux Heater isn't working that that is the most important item to repair - it not only keeps you warm but it helps warm the engine which is a good thing! Quote
edatelder Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) True. I know the aux heater is well covered in these posts but its always looked a bit of complicated job. Its never worked for me on 2 Galaxys over the last 6 years! May try it given time. But the normal heater was OK in previous years, not hot or fast, but better than it is this week. I'll check the pollen filter. Maybe its wet or is blocked with leaves. Edited October 28, 2008 by edatelder Quote
teorag75 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 can any one help have no heating in car at all , galaxy 2001, think it my just be a fuse but don,t know whare to start can't find manual for 2001 can any one help many thanks .... Quote
