windscreen heater blower.

[geordy paul]

hi, my van is booked into the dealers to have a problem fixed(hopefully)
but was wondering if anybody else has had the same problem and if so what was the cause?
the blower onto the windscreen is not blowing, it makes the noise as if blowing but nothing
is coming out. all the other vents and blowers are working as they should.
the van is a 2011 130bhp.
cheers paul.

How did you get on with the replacement fan and did it fit? VW are quoting £338 for a replacement.

Looks like I need to replace mine. Seems to work on low or high but occasionally at mid level it switches off / eases back. Resistor changed but what I've read online it recommends consideration of changing the heater blower fan at the same time . I can certainly control the fan and speed and regain control unlike before

The Nissens fan was a direct swap and worked fine, just make sure you order the correct version as you're in France. Before buying a new fan just check the wiring on the power connector that goes into the fan isn't really tight, mine was and the fan would sometimes be intermittent on rough roads. I pulled through some slack on the wiring harness and then cable tied the harness so it couldn't pull on the connector and haven't had an issue since.

No, that my fibre supplier. Thinks I'm in the Netherlands. Most certainly in Blighty!

Fan motor just seems to throttle back when set at the half way / just under mark and then kicks back in after a few seconds . On max or 1 to 2 speed setting and its fine.

Could be the motor bearings, there was light rust on mine so worth checking.

Thanks just ordered the Nissens 87272

Second time lucky. First one turned up with a broken fan so I was sent out a replacement. Swapped it over late yesterday. Wow what a difference. Obviously the fan degrades over a period of time which isn't really noticable until you put a new one in.

Rust on the fan shaft. I will strip it down and take a look when I have a moment.

Glad it all worked out fine. I found my fan replacement photos so thought I'd post them for reference.
Note: 10 x T20 torx panel screws and 7 x 7/32" fan screws to remove.

Thanks, the trim cover in mine has a different construction.
