Late Heater Controls

Recommended Posts

I know this is probably a long shot being they've been deleted

 

but has anyone got a set of late spec heater controls for sale?... now for the long shot, cheap if possible?

 

All the ones I find on eBay are going for £100... I presume this is because they're not a deleted part.

 

cheers

Someone has snapped off the blower speed settings bit, then taped it back on, but it's working intermittently which was alright, till I really needed to demist the other night and I couldn't get it to turn on at all :-(

it doesn't have to be a new one though, just working.

 

I tried to fix it again but I don't understand how it works, as it's not how much contact it's making that adjusts the speed, if you know what I mean

 

I'll post a pic when I get back from ASDA

Wow!!!!! Ok..... Theres not much that can be done.... The housing it self is all broken.

If there was any part that I could save it with, I would send it to you... But afraid theres not much that can be done to it.

I was faced with the same problem, needed one but they were all going for around £100.

Went to the mk4 golf heater controlls... A bit of work but £40 cheaper is well worth...

And they look better..... Work better.

I'll look at the repair guide proper tomorrow when I'm more awake, I do like the mk4 heater controls, they suit it well, how much hassle were they to fit?

 

Just had a quick look on eBay and there's loads of MK4 heater controls, seems like the better option if it's easy enough to swap

Well the thing with the mk4 controlls is that its not a straight swap... You need the mk4 heater box, cables, loom... And needs some mods for it to fit

How did you get it to fit, I managed to get hold of some MK4 heater controls to see the difference, turns my blower on when I plug them in but the pull cables to adjust the heater box won't fit

Have you looked at using the Passat one? There are some differences, tho' I can't remember what they are offhand, but they do work. I think there's a guide on the Wiki.

 

Another alternative is to retrofit the early style slider control panel, but you'd need the early heater box and matrix, too. An easier job than a Mk4, tho', I would think.

 

Or go the whole hog and retrofit a Climatronic system.
