Title: Blowers/ heaters
Post by: 8r0cky-gti on May 16, 2016, 08:09:24 am: Hi I'm new to golf's, I've done a bit of searching on the forum, but a quick question before I attempt to remove anything . When I got to turn on blowers/climate control everything lights up as it should and all numbers for climate control and the speed settings come on but no air is coming out. Any ideas would be helpful thanks dan

If not it maybe the module in the blower that has failed, can't remember what it's called :stupid: loss of memory lol.

Oh yeah heater resistor :grin:

Found this on another thread courtesy of maxitrol.

Not all models had it though, depending on the system installed. Eg. Climatronic, climatic etc
Mine has Climatronic (digital dual zone climate control) and doesn't have a resistor.
The resistor is a match box sized thing, located behind the glove box, with a green coating. It has a white plastic loom connector.
