New fan motor ( second) and fifth resistor pack Car will be sold before warranty runs out

just a thought?

Maybe this is an odd question but, do you switch your fan to position 4 when first using the heating on a cold day?

Failed again , 5th time ! At garage waiting repair

Try switching airbag on/off via the switch

On my journey with this issue we had: 4 x resistor packs 1 x Relay J59 1 x “suspect” part wiring loom 1 x fan motor ( No paperwork for this) So from memory, the 30A thermal fuse which is attached to the resistor pack fails first. Then full battery voltage is applied to the fan motor “speed 4” Your current reading are below the reading taken by my garage My conclusion is the fan motor is overloading the 30A fuse on startup and blows,due to the motor not coming up to speed quickly enough or sticking

I think the part number is 6Q0959263A

Resistor pack is first option to try.It can be replaced relatively easily as it’s attached to the outside of the heater motor under the gloves box/footwell

When asked about a goodwill gesture,given this has failed four times, I was asked if we had been financially impacted by the issues.We said not really but have had to drive the car for many months in the winter with no heating. Service manager said not a chance! We will not be buying any VAG product again

New loom fitted due to crushed earth wire,we will see how this goes

New wiring loom on back order 🤯

Oh dear, heater fan resistor failed again 🤯 fourth time… car at garage and they think it may be the fan this time, not convinced as they checked this last time

Been good so far

At last a resolution and we have the car back They compared the current draw through resistor pack with two other cars and found higher reading on our car. Relay J59 was replaced as was deemed at fault So now we wait …..

Still waiting a resolution on ours,been in garage since December
