interior fans wont work?
« on: 21 March 2013, 13:06 »
I have owned my MK4 1.8T since December and the interior fan has been very temperamental. Sometimes it will work sometimes it wont. While im driving it will work for say 5 minutes and then you will hear the fan slow down and eventually stop even though the switch is set to 4.

I have replaced the resistor but still no joy. I think i am going to change the interior fan motor next but before i shell out £20 for the motor does anyone else know what could be causing this?

Also, the light behind when the fan doesn't work at all? Ive changed the bulb but still nothing  :sad:

Need this sorted as its freezing driving with no heating on  :undecided: :laugh:

Switch is not playing up is it. If not
Your motor properly knackered

I have tried a different switch and that done the exact same thing. Will changing the motor have anything to do with the light behind the switch working?
