#1: What blower do I need. Author: devildriverxii, Location: StevenagePosted: Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:03 pm ---- So winter is coming, and I need a new heater/blower in my car, I have an '02 multiplexed with a digital climate control/air con.
I bought one last winter, and it was the wrong one, all I can remember is that it needed a separate resistor...and it was the wrong type of blower for my car.
So Instead of wasting more money i thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knows.
Thanks

One is a 2 pin connector and the other is a 5 pin connector.
The resistor is built into it, hence 2 connectors.

I expect yours has a big metal crescent shaped resistor with spikes on it, under the fan. If the fan works then you could just change the resistor, but when i checked the resistors were a more expensive option

Still have the one in from scrappers and still going strong.
Hope i haven't just jinxed myself

anticlockwise to free it.

Will it mess anything up if I drive about without it in for a week or so?
