Citigo, 20K miles.

The blower fan speed has suddenly only runs at max, the other positions on the dash switch are dead.

I think this is the resistor pack (the green part on a round housing) because the blower works hard on max speed.

 

Where is this resistor pack fitted please?

Any steps to get to it welcome. I presume it is glove box out and it reveals the blower motor case and it is there somewhere?

Thanks in advance, Graham.

I think its "1s0959263a" like this:

Thank you for a quick response!

I saw that video this afternoon prior to my post. I was hoping that you did not have to remove the centre panels, seems you do for RHD.

Still, not too bad.

 

I just removed the blower motor from below the dash after manipulating a few wires to make room. 

 

 

So the glove box stays there?

Oddly, I changed the blower motor on my 2014 Skoda Superb a few months ago and had to remove the glove box, but after that the access was very good..

I thought the two cars would have similar construction.

 

Part now on order, will go fishing under the dash soon.

Thank you for your reply, I hope I'm as able as you!

Why would a Skoda version of a large previous-generation Audi be similar to a Citigo?

I meant in broad terms; the blower accessible via the absent glovebox, the speed control resistor pack in the fan/housing, the cabin filter in much the same location, just that really.

 

I was expecting the resistor pack on the UP!/Citigo MII to be somewhere different due to the size of the car, maybe behind the dash switch, but thankfully not.

Trying to do this task today. 2 hours and I've removed 7 screws and the box is still in place!

It is 'free' to move at the door end but fastened at the center console side. I cannot find any screws to release on the console side.

There must be some more screws all hidden from me.

Anyone with any advice please?

I used this video (last post) to track down all the screws to replace my blower resistor. It involved half the dash!

 

What a helpful reply that is!!

Perfect, and answers a lot for me. As you say, WHY make such a simple part so inaccessible I'll never know.

 

Made my day! Thank you very much indeed.
