Hi
Okay, i've suffered with this problem all winter.
At first the heater stopped working, and would only work on full power. I changed the resistor and then it started blowing fuses, and still only works on full power (for about 20mins before fuse blows).
After biting the bullet, I have taken it to VW to repair. First they said all it needed was a new resister pack, replaced, heated stopped working on the way home. VW then said it must be the motor, also replaced, yes you guessed, stopped working on the way home.
It now looks like there is a short circuit somewhere, and VW are saying it could take a good while to find it, and at £45 an hour, i'm at a loss. Needless to say, I just left it.
Anyone any ideas where in the electrics the issue could be?
I had issues earlier on last year, when the bulb holder in my headlamp melted.:confused:
