Heater resistor

Post by Sassyladee »

Hi, I'm having a few problems with my 2002 cc just now and was wondering if anyone can help me out.
My fan just blows out full constantly so I've bought a new heater resistor and I thought it was under the glovebox but I've looked and just can't find it! Anyone point me in the right direction?

There is a good video on YouTube covering this, see

remember you need to move your heater control to recirculate to see the resistor.

It's a good idea to renew your pollen filter before it gets blocked as that can restrict the air-flow over the resistor and cause it to overheat and burn out. The pollen filter is real easy to get at and not expensive to buy. A lot easier and less expensive than the heater resistor!
