Hello, good evening and Merry Christmas :-)
I've just replaced the heater resistor thing (whatever it's called) as the first two notches on the blower weren't working. That's fine now but the airflow is still weak to the windscreen (and almost non-existent to the vents for the side windows). I am guessing this may be a damaged pipe or a disconnected one. I can feel a bit of air blowing about when I put my hand underneath near the pollen filter and poke my fingers in. Any views as to what it may be, and whether it's fixable at home? 1.9SDi Comfort estate, Y reg.

Try removing the filter and clearing out the scuttle where the intake is located.

Thanks I'll give that a go. Do I need a two foot long twisty neck to get in and see or can it be done by feel? Sorry I'm a bit ignorant with the layout.

 

If you don't change the cabin filter the new resistor will blow as they rely on a good air flow to cool them.

 

Here's a video of how to change the filter...

Thanks, just ordered a new filter as it's a while since it was changed.
