The heater fan on my 98 Passat works intermittently, it's fitted with Climate Control. I know that these often fail but my question is whether it's worth fitting new brushes or biting the bullet and getting a new fan off Ebay for £50. The brushes have been out before and turned around so it may be better getting a new fan motor. Or could it be a climatronic fault? Today I had flashing 8's on the display which normally points to the blower motor. I don't want to spend cash on the old girl for no reason.
