noticed the position 1 on my fan speed not working

all other positions are fine, any ideas?

also not sure if ive imagined it, but ive noticed the aircon on occasionally even when the button is off

is this a known issue?

Are you sure it's not running as 1 is very low?

The most (very with VW) common thing is the heater blower fan resistor stops working and the fan only works at full speed, 4, a cheap part (obviously too cheap often) but a bit of a PITA/neck/back/knees/wrist/fingers to fit often.

You can get a residual bit of cold air after air-con is switched off. Have a read of the 'Owner's Manual' for the various settings and restrictions from computers doing their stuff (gwad bless their little cotton socks).

If you've not got the paper printed version you can get free VWŠkoda pdf download version from their site. - https://www.skoda-auto.com/apps/manuals/Models

AC works all the time, but if it is in the off position it is only working at about 6%.

Yes you can sometimes notice this.

Thanks. AG Falco

Had same thing on my Octavia , new resistor and fan works good on all speeds

"Normal graceful degradation" failure of the fan rheostat.

Not like Fords where you lose 1&2 straight way ,at least Skoda do it gently

This is mk1 Fabia version, but I doubt they've changed.

N24 is the resistor pack, switch above it, V2 the fan motor:

Three resistors plus a thermal fuse, all in series (actually just 'tappings' off a continuous winding of resistive wire).

R1 section is often the first to fail cos it gets most use, but any of those four bits can fail. If R3 or the thermal fuse fail, only speed 4 will work, cos that's permanently connected even in the absence of N24.

thankyou all for the replys

going to order and fit a 6Q0959263 6Q0959263A pack

hopefully that will sort it
