It died today, anyone know the part number for a replacement please? Could it be OE 6Q0959263 (A) I can see one for £6.44 on Amazon.

If you don't know when it was last done, check/change your pollen filter to help prevent a recurrence. The reduced airflow may help the resistor overheat if it's seriously clogged.

Thanks for that, it was a bit clogged with fluff etc. Brushed and hoovered it out.

He-He-He! I been trawlin' forums of other models just for fun. I saw this as many Fabia owners report the same thing, fan blowing only on four... Same fix as expected but what made me laugh was brushing and hoovering a dirty filter... I would have shook it a little if I had already removed it but for such a small cost and a few days in the post, fitting a new one is probably so much more effective. I would change mine at least once a year. Order it, wait for it to arrive, then fit it. No point in inspecting it as in a year, it IS gonna be covered in muck.
