Cabin Fan control on the fritz ...

[The Dog]

Hi All
I am the owner of a beloved 1.9D (03) with c. 140,00 on the clock.

Current issue is that fan control on the central cabin console seems to be pretty u/s in that the fan is more or less on all the time (to the max) but with ability to tweak it down slightly.
The traction on the dial action does seem to be less +ve of late and I am thinking I have a wear issue with the mechanism which is giving me the always on effect .....

I have had (and fixed ) the blower motor resistor/pcb at 100k and I think this is different...

Anyone got a clue or seen (fixed) this before ??

Cheers

It still sounds like the resistor pack to me.

I have changed mine twice over 99K miles.

I was hoping it was not that... as it is such a pain to do.
Do you know where I can get me hands on one of the units at all ... I have lost all my details

I think it's a different item depending on whether you have air con or not. Mine does and it's the metal resitor pack with the fins. My last one was easy to do as I bought the full replacement part for £17 off ebay and just dropped the fan out and changed it. First time around I bouth the individual resistors and had to solder them in place.

There are quite a few old threads on here about the very same if you do a search, there's lots about it on the forum.
