mark_ingle 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Hi, I am new to corrado ownership, and recently my thermal fuse blew in the resister for my fan, I got a new fuse and replaced the old one. The this mornign after about 5 days with the new one it has blown again!!! :( Has anybody else had this problem?? Is it going to be a new fan? Any help would be great.

Henny 0 Posted November 22, 2004 yes, you need a new fan. The reason these go is that the bearings in the fan wear out, causing the motor to pull more current than normal. This makes the resistor pack heat up and blow the thermal fuse... That's exactly what it's there for, to prevent the resistor pack from catching fire! ;) The only way (at least that I know of) to fix this is to put in a new fan... Euro and GSF both sell 'em for a hell of a lot cheaper than VW do! ;) 8) Oh, and welcome to The Forum... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
