Blower heater issue and blower resistor location

[Tspoon999]

Hello,

I am having a strange issue with my climate control system. When i turn on climate control and change the direction of the heat, i can hear somethings changing but sometimes it takes a while for the air to start blowing and sometimes it just doesnt blow any air out. If the air blows and i then i turn off the climate control it wont turn back on again. I also noticed when i try press the air recirculation button, it doesnt turn on, the red LED blinks and then it stays off. I did some googling and it could be a couple of things:
1. The heater resistor
2. another poster said he used some WD40 under the footwell

With that in mind, i purchased a new resistor thinking, this is likely the issue and videos said it was easy to change, however, i cannot find the resistor at all. I even took the glove box off. i have uploaded a video if someone can help me with the location. video is here https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...&key=NWlpMXlKdy1MaUpxUVViczRzbnRSQjM0cDk4Ukpn

Re. point 2 and WD40, a poster said the fan was easy to get to and it just takes a quarter turn but from what i saw it looked screwed in position.


any help on this is much appreciated

For the later models with auto climate control you don't' change the resistor in place, the entire motor drops down and the resistor is on that.
If you've bought the card type resistor, you've probably got the wrong one.

Changing the blower motor and resistor is honestly a 5 minute job, it's super easy.

This video is for a Sharan, but the design is the same for the Leon, you can see how easy it is to pull and swap the heater motor.
You only need to remove the bottom panel to access the motor on the Leon, not the glove box or anything else.

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I eventually figured it out but took some time.

Once again, thank you very much

Hey, I'm having the same issues exact my blowers don't work at all and the same with the air recirculation. What was the issue?
