Managed to buy one from VW 7M0 959 263 C £18 cheaper than ford!!

But i have noticed this on ebay that looks identical ( should have looked first!)£8.49

 

Now hoping i get no blown heater fuses

Usual resistor pack failure symptom is no fan on 1/2/3 settings or any combination, 4 usually works okay as it bypasses the resistors.

 

If the fuse blows on speed 4, I would check that the fan turns freely and is not seizing, and that there are no blockages.

 

Do you get good air flow on 4 before the fuse goes pop? Does engaging recirculate make any difference?

Not had any noticeable issues with airflow, seems ok running on 1,2 but sometimes on full it just blows the fuse. I never have it on recirculating maybe i should try that.

So probably wasted on the new resistor pack, put old one on ebay then 

 

is it easy to get to fan to check movement? I assume it is moving ok otherwise it would blow on low settings? Old resistor pack looked a bit corroded on the single resistor going across the pack at back.

 

Any resistance settings to check?

 

Maybe compare with new one see if they give same results.( will take it out again)

Not sure what it's like to get the heater out of a mk.2, but it could be a major op.

 

Mine squeaks on lower speeds, but it's done it for years and I can't bring myself to attempt to get to it. Too many other problems to worry about...

 

 

Might sound a daft question, but is the fuse fitted of the correct rating? I think it should be a 30A, if I remember correctly?

 

If the fuse is correct, my guess would be a faulty or stiff blower motor.
