9N POLO MY08 1.9 TDI - AIR BLOWER NOT WORKING IN POSITIONS 1 - 3 only works in 4.

Guys

My polo air blower seems to be on the blink, it only works in position four. The aircon comes on only when the fan switch is in position four only.

what could be the problem?? fuses/blower unit or something simpler.

the car has just done 60000kms and warranty expired 09/12/2010.

Im worried i will get ripped of by the dealer if i go back for the 60k service with them.

any suggestions on a good vw diesel specialist.

thanks

Jithen

Didn't you like the ones suggested in your 1st thread?

I think I've read it's to do with the fuse, or a resistor in the AC blower itself?

[buzuki]

would be the resister in the fan. Position 4 doesnt pass through the resistor circuit

Could be a rheostat problem in the selector switch...

It will be the fan speed control resistor that is located in the HVAC plenum just after the blower... Disassemble the glovebox and it is just behind there with 3 x wires hanging out. Part is about $90 from memory, Stealer will try to sting you at least $250-300 so just do it yourself.
