TonyC 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Does anyone know which VW's the fan is shared with? Mine only works on speed 4 only. Have checked archives and replaced the thermal fuse but it blew again after about 10 mins use suggesting that the fan could be at fault (overworking and causing heat build up in the resistor pack). So, I thought I source a replacement fan. Thanks,TC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Think the Golfs and maybe passat is similar. Try taking the fan cover off and getting it all cleaned out with electrolube or something, it may help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 28, 2006 Fans are the same as MK2 Golfs, it's just the resistor packs that are different and need to be swapped... They are also about £50 from GSF or VAG but there was someone selling new ones at Inters last year for £35... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted January 28, 2006 go to http://www.vagparts.com email them FAO Bob and tell him you got his details from here. Tell him what you need and he'll give you a better price than VW. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted January 28, 2006 replace the resistor fuse under the passenger side undertray, can get one from maplins for 75p... i did it on mine and its going strong for 3 yrs now cant find the poxy how to guide now i know vr6storm knows where it is though, worth PM-ing him maybe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has changed that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyC 0 Posted January 28, 2006 I've changed the thermal fuse (56p from Maplins!) but it blew again after 10 mins use. So the resistor pack must be overheating due to load (or something). Will lube the fan and try my 2nd fuse. But if I can get a cheap complete unit then that may be a more permanent solution. I'll get the fan model number - then do some surfing.

Furkz 0 Posted January 28, 2006 are you sure u used exactly the same voltage as the old one... has when i did it i couldnt find the "exact" same, way slightly heigher and lower voltage... HTH sorry if it dont Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Here you go, this is what you need, although I think you may have changed it anyway: RA19V Thermal Fuse 184C 142 in Stock £0.56 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Home.aspx?AID=1 ... ukmaplin3q Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
