@HyperDog Also make sure mechanic can reset the motor once it's installed. Mine said he had to use the fancy scan tool to reset the system. After nearly a year it's been perfect.. Hope you fix!

Hi, I took it to a mechanic and he changed the recirculation motor. Was costly though... Like £200 for the motor and the labour made it more. It's the one behind the glovebox I think. It could be any of the 4 motors that control the air con but in my case was the recirculation one. You may be able to see for yourself if you remove glove box and have a look at the motor when I was in recirc it was working fine but the issue was when it went in to normal mode the recirc motor wouldn't close and kept trying to close and that's why the air was coming and going. Hope this helps, I can't remember the later number or anything I may have a loom if you need. Let me know.

@TheFozzy Think so, I have the climatronic. Does this open and close the flaps to alter air flow through the vents? Mine is playing up sometimes works, sometimes decides not to work properly.

Does anybody know where this is? Right drive Skoda MK3 Fabia with climatronic. Want to see if it moves when I change settings on the system. Behind glove box maybe?

Hi all, So I've put this up here before and did not get the answers I was looking for unfortunately so I'm posting again incase anyone else that knows can help. I have an issue with the climatronic system in my 2015 Fabia MK 3. Anything but recirc does not blow hard when the fan speed is turned up. Instead, it blows gentle with the occasional hard blow of air. The fan seems to be going at the correct speed for the fan speed I set but barely any air comes out. Instead Every few seconds a burst of air will come out and then it'll blow soft again. It works fine on recirc but I don't want to have to use it with the AC all the time to avoid steaming up of the windows. Does anyone know? I had my garage look at it but for whatever reason that day it seemed to work fine. It works fine for the first 10 mins or so of the journey then it starts acting up. Can anyone help or know what this might be? TIA Adam

@MartinP8 Hi Sorry I know this is an old post but I'm experiencing the exact same issue as you now and was wondering if you sorted it? I tried the button reset too but I have a 2015 model with AC button but no effect

@Rich_84 Have you tried to fix it?

@rich_84 Yep, mine works fine with the recirc on. By any chance do you know what is required to make the normal operation function again?

@Rich_84 I'll try that and see if I can replicate the same thing, then we will know if we have the same issue. I never usually use the recirc. It's really annoying me and im sure it does you too because it takes longer to heat up.

@Warrior193 I have tried something similar as the fabia has a slightly different climatronic setup with the buttons. I held the AC and face flow button down but nothing happened. I have tried otehr combos as well but nothing happens. It may also be worth noting that when the car turns on, the air flow is constant, and when in auto its constant when the system settles on a fan speed and direction of air flow but after around 30 seconds, the air flow through the vents is erratic. You don't notice it on low fan speed but you do if it's high. Also. the air coming out of the vents near the window on either side is constant, even if you deselect the face air flow button. Weird haha.

@Warrior193 Thank you so much for your help. I won't get to my car until after work but I'm keen to try and see if the reset does anything. I'll let you know when I try it. Many thanks

Nah I have not. It could be that actually because the overall drone when the heater fan is one doesn't change but the air flow does fluctuate. So, the actuators, if they are at fault, are the expensive to replace or is it maybe a program issue? I suppose you can't tell these things really will need to get it to my garage to run a scan. Thanks

@Warrior193 Hi, its not that it varies it every few mins according to temp. Its inconsistent flow of air. Even when it's set to manual and on a speed level I've set. Best way I can describe is that its like someone blowing air out their mouth and have to stop to breath in again to blow out again. There's a good few seconds of normal flow, then minimal for a second or two then full. And it repeats like this. Thanks

Hello all! I have a MK3 Skoda Fabia SE L with the automatic climate control and am having an issue with the blower. I'd say 50% or more of the time when I turn on the heat, the blower speed is not constant. Instead, it blows at the correct speed for a few seconds then slows down then speeds back up and just repeats like this. I've tried every combination of settings and the result is the same, even in full auto mode. I know it is not supposed to do this because I've been in my friend's car with the same system and he says it never does what mine does. Any ideas? Cheers, Adam
