Heater Resistor

[Sassyladee]

Hi,
Need some more advice!
I said before that my fan was blowing full so I bought heater resistor and had someone take a look under glove box to put new one in. I'm being told its not the right part as I have air con and I need to replace the blower module cost of £150. Is this right because my 2002 has air con?

Sorry blower motor

Who have you got working on your car? Who was the "someone"? Do they know what they are doing? I have checked in the Owners Workshop Manual and there is no differentiation between models with and without air con so I assume that the heater resistor is common to both systems. The heater resistor is not under the glove box on right hand drive cars. Access to the resistor is gained via the recirculation intake aperture on the underside of the heating/ventilation housing duct. This is above the drivers side footwell on right hand drive cars. (I am assuming that your steering wheel is on the right hand side?) The heater resistor is always on the right hand side of the car which means that it is under the glove box only on left hand drive cars.The symptoms you describe point to the heater resistor being at fault.

Did the "someone" set the air recirculation flap lever to the recirculation position? The resistor cannot be seen without doing that. Did you show the "someone" the YouTube video that I provided the link to? (Don't forget that that video shows someone working on a left hand drive car though)

If the "someone" definitely knows what they are doing then I suppose you need to be guided by them as they are doing the job but my understanding is that the blower motor itself is working just fine from what you have told us. I personally would get a second opinion before spending your additional £150 because it doesn't sound to me as if the "someone" is looking in the right place.

Please keep us informed of progress.

By the way, check your pollen filter while you are at it. If that gets clogged it will restrict the air flow through the heating/ventilation housing duct which can cause your heater resistor to overheat and fail. A new pollen filter will only cost about a tenner and there is a useful video which shows you how to do it - see the following thread for the link

Do you mean basic air con (as in knobs/dials) or climate control (digital panel)? I believe the blower motors are different, so it's important that you specify the right one.
