It can be the switch but normally it's the motor itself which is hidden up in the dash on the passenger side.

Should imagine if you have lost 2 of the speeds and not the 3rd the resistor is faulty, not really 2 sure where it is on a mk2 heating system though so if someone can tell me as well we can both learn something!

Common failure boss - its the little resistor behind the fasica.

pull the fascia, slide the block up from behind where the knob goes.. pull tif orm the wire, refitting is a reversal of rmeoval.. fixed 3 so far this way  :cool:

i tried 2 different switches but turned out to be the resistor on the motor, all sorted now!
