Blowers/ heaters
« on: May 16, 2016, 08:09:24 am »
Hi I'm new to golf's, I've done a bit of searching on the forum, but a quick question before I attempt to remove anything . When I got to turn on blowers/climate control everything lights up as it should and all numbers for climate control and the speed settings come on but no air is coming out. Any ideas would be helpful thanks dan

Hello mate, check that the top dash vent is closed ie the one under the screen and then report back.

Is the blower motor making any kind of sound?.
If not it maybe the module in the blower that has failed, can't remember what it's called  :stupid: loss of memory lol.

Oh yeah heater resistor  :grin:

If it's not in this location try behind the near side console panel. You need to be looking for about four olthibk colour wires.

Apparently some of out gti's don't come with this resistor.
Found this on another thread courtesy of maxitrol.

Not all models had it though, depending on the system installed. Eg. Climatronic, climatic etc
Mine has Climatronic (digital dual zone climate control) and doesn't have a resistor.
The resistor is a match box sized thing, located behind the glove box, with a green coating. It has a white plastic loom connector.
