My resistors have failed twice since 2016 and replaced under warranty. VW have never mentioned the fan drawing too much current. I can’t imagine the fan motor bearings being worn after such a short time. If they are bearings are very low cost.

Time has come to sell our van! I bought her with 94k miles and I’ve owned her just over 1 year. In that time have covered around 9k miles which have mostly been motorway. Van was professionally converted in summer 2021 and I picked it up in Jan 2023. Its had minimal usage as a camper as it...

You may well be on to something with the quality of the thermal fuse - after I replaced my shower fan one with one with the same value I have had no further fuse blows. What worries me is the number of replacement resistor packs that are offered for sale for all varieties of vehicles, does this...

Thanks for the reply.. Does the fan stay on constantly or does it kick in and out better now?

Excellent work there @mmi :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Interesting the resistor surface temperature on speed 1 is 180 deg. As expected - maximum voltage drop, maximum dissipation. It would not take much to increase the dissipation; i.e. Increased input voltage or higher current draw by a...

The problem was fixed on warranty - blown resistor unit for ventilation fan, apparently a known issue.

Fan only blowing on 4. Took Kombi local dealer took them 4 days to fix. They also queried warranty as 3 days out of 3 years standard warranty. Explained that booked in two weeks earlier and has an extended warranty as literally just bought two weeks ago from another VW dealer. Tight or what...

Seems to be becoming a bit of a common issue this one, the fan blower consumes a constant current and if you set it to speeds 1/2/3 then theres a resistor that takes part of the load to slow the fan down Its separate from the heater/blower control unit so not too major to change, are you still...

When I had the fan resistor pack replaced under warranty I asked the service manager if the new part was different to the failed unit, ie improved to prevent future failure. They seem quite pleased to inform me that it was exactly the same as the failed resistor unit! The idea of making an...

It was another school day o_O Such a simple device - a blower series resistor for regulating fan speed - been in use for decades... Turned out to be a multidimensional challenge - electrical efficiency, heat conductivity, fuse cooled by airflow, heat transfer function, etc. Anyways, thanks...

Good find:thumbsup: and looks like a pretty simple job to do myself, albeit the fan motor a little more awkward to remove.

It's a dealer visit I'm afraid the resistor that controls fan speed needs replacing, it's a minor part

The heater dial feed goes through some form of potentiometer/variable resistor to set the speed of the fan (think dimmer switch on lighting) the controls always use full power but on settings one to three some energy is used by the resistor to limit the speed of the van but setting four allows...

Under uk law, the warranty for the replaced part would not extend beyond the length of the original warranty i.e. if you had 6 months of your 3yr warranty left then the replaced part would be guaranteed for 6 months A manufacturer is of course able to be more generous than that if they wished...

The van is back from the dealers, was told that the emission light coming on was caused by the hard acceleration just as there was an injection of Adblue into the system he said it was rare but he has seen it before. Not sure I buy that but the technician was adamant and was keen to know if it...

It is a shame, all those points you mentioned have been raised before. T6 Common Faults & Problems - - Check Here First - the only comforting thing to take from it is that every fault/warranty claim the goes back to VW Factory for them to assess and rectifiy, that way we get better revised...

These Jun Yan lights were bought from Van Tech who are a very helpful and friendly company to deal with. Having used these lights for a week now, I thought I’d share my experience with you…...and have started another thread as requested by a couple of members. Some of this content may be...

Mixed results really..??! Top quality bits of kit but they have a large back on the units that house the cooling fans, this makes them bulky and you have to split the mounting plate from the body to be able to get the locating spring to fit over them then the unit is screwed back onto the...
