Title: Heater/Blower Fan Location *and air flow direction unit*
Post by: rich83 on February 26, 2012, 08:21:44 pm

Where is this located on the MK5? is it up in the passenger foot well? IM having issues with my fan blower seeming to pack in after about 2 hours.  :sad1:

Ok. so the fan its self is blowing its little heart out. Where abouts is the unit that controls the flow of air?

Thanks

There are various flaps that open and close within the system to control air flow. Each flap should have its own motor.
If you take the glove box out and the top coin tray / vent, this should give you visibility of most of the flaps and you can then verify if they are working as expected.

If the blower motor is giving up after a while, the resisitor could be faulty. 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.

Apologies if I've repeated anything from those threads above.
Hope this helps.
Jason

thanks jason.

Ive been out with VCDS and ran all the Output tests on the ventilation system and every one of them runs perfectly. I suppose ill wait until the ventilation system is running poorly then re-do the tests to pinpoint exactly where the problem is.  :happy2:
