#1: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:09 pm ---- Hi! I'm having problems with my heater fan. Suddenly it stops blowing, and i have to turn the ignition on of a couple of times before it starts again.
Anyone know what the problem can be?
Sorry for my bad english.

But I just wanted to say that your English is much better than some people on here! lol

If i remember correct the Pug has a power save mode on Multiplexed models(Newer 206)
#4: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:05 pm ---- This happens suddenly when im driving along! Sometimes the fan starts by it self, but most often i have to turn the ignition on and off
The car is a 99 GTI.
By the way, thanks for the compliment AsphericSmile

#6: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:56 pm ---- It will be the fan. They seem to fail regularly so it's best to just buy a new one.
#7: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bellevuespares, Location: ManchesterPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:17 pm ---- NEW? lol. Have you priced them up?
#8: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:55 pm ---- Yes I bought one. Considering how often they are failing it would be a false economy buying a 2nd hand one. £109 from AEP Direct.
#9: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 10:30 am ---- Where do i locate the fan in the car? Is it a big job replacing it?
#10: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 10:51 am ---- Used to happen a lot on the 205. It was a fault on the circuit board which the switch was fastened too. It was a simple job to fix once traced the problem.
#11: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 4:27 am ---- I'm still having this problem. When it does happen i just gived the dashboard a couple of hits and the fan comes on again. Checked the wires on the fan and they seem fine. Where is the circuit board and how did you fix it macca?
#12: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 5:11 am ---- On the 205 the fault was one of the capacitors on the circuit board that the switch was fastened to.
Definately sounds like a bad connection somewhere if it comes on with a couple of hits. I would suggest buying new switch unit and blower, but at those prices wouldn't be worth it unless you were 100% sure that it was faulty.
p.s. I finally stopped mine making the noise by taking the blower apart and greasing where the fan spindle sits.
#13: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Sat Apr 09, 2011 6:46 am ---- Is this switch unit on the blower?

On the dashboard. The switch that you use to control the speed of the fan. Does it stop working on all speeds or just one?
#15: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 7:07 am ---- aha! The fan stops working on all speeds. So this must mean its not the switch right?
#16: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: bozmann, Location: NorwayPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:03 am ---- bumping this. checked the cables to the fan and they all looked fine. Don't want to replace the fan if its not broken.
#17: Re: Heater fan stopping Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:07 am ---- It needs the fan replacing
Unplug the fan connector & test for voltage at the plug
Not changing the pollen filter at service time doesnt do the fan much good.

I'll go with this one. I changed the pollen filter (which was filthy) just before lubing the fan. Possibly coincidence, but I trust MrBSIs' advice.
